Dear Ijeawele, Or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

I listened to the audio version of this book on the drive to drop my daughter off at college. I know, a little late, right? I found myself nodding along with many of the suggestions yes, I did that, yes I did that and I felt so much better when I got there that I may not have been a perfect parent (not that I am done being a parent, per se) but I feel pretty secure I have raised a feminist daughter. What really struck me was how few of these suggestions I was exposed to as a child, and I still grew up a feminist. I feel my brother is also a feminist.
Anyway, I am now uber-conscious of the feminist-lite idea (it has a name now!) and I see, in myself, a total failure to fight likeability. But it's so important, and Adichie calls us on it.
I have never read anything else by Adichie, but now I need to.
I am still in awe about the part about one's name. I have always felt that way too.
This was a great read.
