What does “feminism” mean today? That is the question at the heart of We Should All Be Feminists, a personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from her much-viewed Tedx talk of the same name—by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun. With humor and levity, here Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century—one rooted in inclusion and awareness. She shines a light not only on blatant discrimination, but also the more insidious, institutional behaviors that marginalize women around the world, in order to help readers of all walks of life better understand the often masked realities of sexual politics. Throughout, she draws extensively on her own experiences—in the U.S., in her native Nigeria, and abroad—offering an artfully nuanced explanation of why the gender divide is harmful for women and men, alike. Argued in the same observant, witty and clever prose that has made Adichie a bestselling novelist, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman today—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

评分进入新年不久,就开始在脸书上看到Women's March的各种update。Women's March是呼吁男女平等的大游行,有几位朋友有参加,自然会分享照片还有一些心得。我觉得,对于大部分参加游行的吃瓜群众来说,这只是一场社交活动,就像平时你约朋友去喝咖啡吃饭,今天你约朋友游行。因为...
评分“修正”性别问题——读《女性的权利》 文/凡悦颜 习以为常是个可怕的词,一件事见的多了、做的多了,哪怕不那么合理,人们也见怪不怪了。 比如全世界女人比男人多一点,但位居权重的职位大部分是由男人占据的。大家可能忘记了,现在更多是靠学识、智慧、创意说话的时代,而...
评分我从来没有想过会接触到非洲文学,但这次的相遇是如此自然。这是我第一次听完一本英文的有声书,如此美妙,如此感人。一直觉得,由作家来朗读自己的作品是一种最为奇妙的化学反应,仿佛带着母亲体温里的祝愿与馨香。 这本书的内容很简单,Adichie 讲述自己经历中的细枝末节,这...

评分take nothing for granted
评分常态不代表是正确的。还是那句话,今天不成为女权主义者,明天也许被迫害的就是你。
