We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Finished the audiobook of We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie over the weekend. It’s more like an audio-essay, maybe. I listened in one sitting.
I loved it. It’s a few years old now so a lot of its lessons are, at least I think, a bit less revolutionary than they maybe once were. But they’re important ones and ones that people still need to hear. Everyone should read this, especially the people who think they don’t need to.
One thing I would like to see is an update with a little more intersectionality, especially as it pertains to the LGBTQIA+ community, because the author’s definition of women is pretty narrow. But for a lot of people who consider themselves feminists (and we all should!), that definition has expanded quite a bit in recent years.
4/5
