内容简介

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.

A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a dear friend from childhood, asking her how to raise her baby girl as a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is Adichie's letter of response.

Here are fifteen invaluable suggestions--compelling, direct, wryly funny, and perceptive--for how to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. From encouraging her to choose a helicopter, and not only a doll, as a toy if she so desires; having open conversations with her about clothes, makeup, and sexuality; debunking the myth that women are somehow biologically arranged to be in the kitchen making dinner, and that men can "allow" women to have full careers, Dear Ijeawele goes right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. It will start a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

  • 谁家那小谁
    我是真的希望这本书能出中文版。我希望我的母亲和所有告知我要为婚姻家庭有所隐忍有所牺牲的长辈们看看。你首先要是你自己你才能扮演好另外一个人的妻子的角色。婚姻是共同成长而不是某一方的牺牲来换得另一方的飞跃来导致两个人的差距越来越大。我爸常喜欢说你为什么喜欢的都是一些男孩子喜欢的东西。我喜欢仅仅是因为我喜欢而已,与性别无关。我少年时期最烦的一句话就是女孩子到了高中就不行了, 男孩子后劲足,完全大狗屎。我有太多的话想说,都在这本书里了。我想呼吁的并不是女权,只是平权而已,equality and equity. 02-07

    整体思路还不错,降低女儿本身的女性身份认知,以一个人的身份成长而不是以一个女人的身份成长。但,为了卖书,标题依旧落入俗套了,当你要把女儿培养成“女权主义”的时候,她必然多一层念想。11-18

    Finished it in one sitting. 被作者简单流畅又不失力量的文字所打动 好几次想到我的童年竟有些泪眼婆娑…不得不感慨现在的小孩真的越来越幸福 我们那一代就算有开明的父母想寻求此类帮助 都苦于没有资源呢 真心安利给所有人 尤其希望有女宝宝的父母们仔细阅读 最起码要尝试不是吗?08-22
