"This was the first book that explained radical feminism to me. She untangles the smallest, most insidious ways that we all contribute to preserving the patriarchy. She also carefully aligns all women: sex workers to stay-at-home mothers. Also, after reading this I will no longer participate in conversation about feminism that leaves out class and race."

"A landmark work of feminism, which was censored at the time of its release. But more so, it is beautifully written, with an iridescent shimmer—a moving and devastating spiritual tragedy."

"At a young age, I fell in love with the "second wave feminism" writings of Ms. Atwood. I learned that female characters could be written as flawed, because we are, dammit."

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie does a great job in explaining the fundamental point of feminism. While it is already known to those versed in such sociological aspects, it is a good start in learning about what it actually is.

I was more interested in her viewpoint of intersectional feminism which brings together the effects of race, class and gender on a person and their position in society. I hope that there will be more literature like this in the future.

"Another staple. The smallest book ever, with the most powerful, true story. Real, human, authentic. I love this book. Nothing humanizes and brings to light the misinterpreted politics of feminism like this author’s simple, heart-bursting story."
