TEDx talk
This tiny little book is a modified version of a TEDx talk that Chimamanda Nigozi Adichie gave in 2012, which I watched having read the book. As I have mentioned previously (here) I am a feminist of sorts, but while we in 'The West' focus our efforts in creating a society which allows for equally pay and oppotunities regarding maternity and parternity leave and try to remove gender stereotypes; other countries are looking for women to be able to be something other than a housewife.
As many of you may know the dictionary definition of a feminist is:
A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.
As Adiche highlights this is a global cause not just one needed in the west, and that it is not just something for women to work towards it is for all genders.
"All of us, Women and Men, must do better" - Chimamanda Nigozi Adichie
