Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

Years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a childhood friend, a new mother who wanted to know how to raise her daughter to be a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is Adichie's response letter: fifteen valuable suggestions - direct, wryly humorous, and insightful - on how to raise a daughter to be a strong, independent woman. Full of compassionate advice and guidance, it gets right to the heart of sexual politics in the 21st century and starts a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.
