Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

內容簡介

內容簡介 奈及利亞女作家 Adichie 的15個女權宣言，學習塑造自我，擺脫性別意識多年前奈及利亞女作家Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie收到兒時好友的信件，詢問她該如何將自己的女兒扶養成一位女性主義者，而這本書的內容，就是她針對好友最真誠及真實建議。15個女權宣言，動人、大膽直白且風趣，期盼所有女孩都能成為堅強及獨立的女性。包括鼓勵女孩選擇她內心嚮往的玩具，而不是一般大眾期望的洋娃娃；勇敢大方談論衣著、妝容及性慾；不要被母親這個角色限制自我，更不要因為丈夫為女兒換尿布而心存感激；最重要的，千萬不要利用女性的優勢去討好別人。Adichie認為我們不該有預設的性別意識，更不該被男性所建立的體制被左右，唯有拋開這些拘束，才能獲得真正的自由。From the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today – written as a letter to a friend.I have some suggestions for how to raise Chizalum. But remember that you might do all the things I suggest, and she will still turn out to be different from what you hoped, because sometimes life just does its thing. What matters is that you try.In We Should All be Feminists, her eloquently argued and much admired essay of 2014, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie proposed that if we want a fairer world we need to raise our sons and daughters differently. Here, in this remarkable new book, Adichie replies by letter to a friend’s request for help on how to bring up her newborn baby girl as a feminist. With its fifteen pieces of practical advice it goes right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century.
