BOOK REVIEW: We Should All Be Feminists

I PRAY THAT THIS BOOK WILL BE INCLUDED TO CANON OF LITERATURE. XX

I know I am not very disposed politically nor socially ‘til I was. I didn’t really put much seriousness on feminism in real life cause I can never fully understand it. So I grow up thinking being a feminist is a bad thing cause we (women) are raised to be submissive (and it’s a good thing, but isn’t it also bad?). Tonight, I am learning. Took me 20 years.

I know this might sound dumb but the way I see feminism BEFORE is standing up and yelling out “I am proud to be a woman!”. But no, it’s not that, silly me. So many thanks to Chimamanda Adichie who slam a satiated lecture on my face which I can only agree with the arguments she presented.

This book is downright convincing with its truths and realities (behind Adichie’s narration of her first-hand experiences). If men can rule a group, women can! If men can pay the meal on dates, women can! If men could be bold and wise on making decisions in the family, women can speak up too! And I hope both sexes could give their fair share on this matter. And I just thought, feminism, if willed sincerely, it could only be viable if both sexes work together with its core purpose ─ neutrality.

Really a  great read in one sitting! So much learning and realization. This book deserves all applause in the world. This book is another ground for knowledge expansion and with all my heart, I will keep learning about  this movement. 

God bless the world! God bless to Chimamanda, Lance and Sheryl and their immaculate feminist hearts. xoxo

P.S. African writers are everything! Excellent <3
