About this listen

A personal and powerful essay from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the bestselling author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun.

‘I would like to ask that we begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves. And this is how to start: we must raise our daughters differently. We must also raise our sons differently…’

What does “feminism” mean today?

In this personal, eloquently argued essay – adapted from her much-admired Tedx talk of the same name – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now – an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

Critic reviews

‘The book I'd press into the hands of girls and boys, as an inspiration for a future "world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves"’ Books of the Year, Independent

‘One and a half million YouTube viewings later, this small but perfectly formed talk has become an equally small but perfectly formed book, thanks to Fourth Estate. The perfect size in fact for handbags, pockets and Christmas stockings. There really is no excuse not to buy several’ Harpers Bazaar

As the father of a girl, I'm pleased with this education. We should all be a feminist has just opened my mindset, especially on how to raise/talk and inspire my girl.

I loved the voice of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi. She is very intelligent and I agreed with all her ideas. I wish more people would hear her voice and think about the problem of treating women as secondary to men. I hope the world is slowly changing and will be a fairer place.

I like the way the author talks she is very pleasant to listen to, you can hear from her voice the confidence and stability she has. I really liked how she told stories especially ones from Nigeria since I had no idea about how women in Nigeria experience sexism and how different it is from my country. My only issue is that I already knew the underlying issues of the stories maybe because in some form I've experienced them or maybe because I like this topic but these weren't new things for me. I wish the book was longer so I could dive deeper in the discussion.

It was too short for me

Made me feel guilty and a bit more aware of the issue, not a comfortable listen but necessary.

I've been thinking about it since I finished
