I could tell from his tone- the same tone in which a person would say “ You’re a supporter of terrorism.” She continues the chapter by comparing gender roles in society and how women are forced to fill a mold society has crafted for them while men don’t need to live up to such a strenuously infeasible expectation. Overall, I thought the book/speech was incredible and highlighted some of the key points in feminism.Īt the beginning of the book Chimamanda says,” You know you’re a feminist.
She also addresses numerous misconceptions on feminism and feminists and exploits the ignorance and misogyny behind these misbeliefs. Throughout the less than 60 page speech, Chimamanda speaks of the taboo of feminism in Nigeria and what feminism has evolved to in modern day society.
But the quality of her words and the influence and message they promote make up for the book’s lack of quantity. We Should All Be Feminists is actually a version of the author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s, speech on feminism and gender equality on Ted translated into a book.
