We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5.0
It's an easy supra simple read that articulates basic picture of feminism concisely. Chimamanda, the author, picks the inequality in her home county, Nigeria. She begins with the notion how feminism is deemed as negative thougt in Nigeria. People who claim themseves as one are considered bad and thought to be against African culture. Chimamanda then describes how the social structure becomes problematic both for men and women as particular values (or culture she said) are automatically assigned to people since they were kids and disabled them from being what they really are or get credit they truly deserve. Chimamanda, however, beautifully write that ,'culture does not make people. People make culture,' which later is explored in the book. This book does not talk feminism, as a thought, sophisticatedly. I personally think her points in the book can be explored more. This is because feminism, to me, is much more than women being oppressed. Nevertheless, I think the book is very good resource to educate people about feminism.
