NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The highly acclaimed, provocative essay on feminism and sexual politics—from the award-winning author of Americanah

"A call to action, for all people in the world, to undo the gender hierarchy." —Medium

In this personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from the much-admired TEDx talk of the same name—Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

    Amazing essay. It was insightful and intriguing. It provided an excellent argument for the concepts of sex, gender, and feminism. This essay is a good resource that could be use in a forum such as a debate

    It’s been awhile since I read any books about gender equality. This book is great to start your journey as a feminist! It also gave me a sense of empowerment about how I shouldn’t be unapologetic. Great read and would recommend this book!

    No one is actually arguing men are evil sexist rapists. Feminism is about gender equality, not revenge

    This was a good summary of the coming of a modern feminist. However, because of its brevity, it did feel like something was missing. With a bit more in-depth analysis on feminism, this would be salient and perfect. I still loved it, and I wish to read more of her works.

    This is a great beginning. I hope there are plans to develop this thesis more. There is a lot more to be said in promoting feminism and I would love to read this author on that. Love the book. Disappointed it ended so fast.

    The author was brilliant in explaining feminism in the easiest ways by examples from her home country in Nigeria.

    This book is pure propaganda advertised by Apple. The book is an echo chamber that validates the ideas of feminists on tumblr without looking at all the facts and while also being incredibly sexist towards men. Do yourself a favor and look up feminist issues and see both sides of the argument. Don't waste your money on this trash.

    Good for a quick read. The only people to actually benefit from this are those on the fence about it anyways.
