Receiving a letter from a friend asking her how to raise her baby girl to be a feminist, Adichie responded with fifteen suggestions for how to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. Her suggestions ranged from options for non-stereotyped toy options, to debunking myths that women are somehow biologically programmed to be in the kitchen instead of having a career. Adichie's letter will start an urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

This essay is incredible. Even if you've seen parts of this online, it's more detailed and has more context in this published format. I hope to gift this to everyone I know.
I adored this. I feel like gifting to all my friends for Christmas- mmmm, maybe I shall
It's a very quick read with a lot of valuable insights! 10/10 would highly recommend.
