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.
“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...
评分我所理解的女权主义是绝对承认男女性别有所差异。 我所理解的女权主义要从社会层面讲起,首先要从字面意思说起,女权强调的是女生的权利。这里要提到另外一个词,叫父权社会,指的是男性在社会中具有绝对的优势。而女权主义什么意思,难道是说女性在社会中享有绝对的优势吗?错...
评分什么是女权?和朋友谈到女权的时候,得到的反馈往往是负面的,他们往往望文生义,脑海中的第一反应是“母夜叉”,是和男权相反的另一个极端——霸道、野蛮、粗鲁,只不过主角变成了女人。在一段相当漫长的时间里,我一方面恐惧女权带给自己的霸道印象,一方面却又对女性力量的...
评分I'm trying to unlearn many lessons of gender I internalized while growing up. Some people ask, "Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights?, or something like that?" Because that would be dishonese. Feminism is, of course, pa...

评分短小精悍,“人创造文化,而不是文化创造人”。针对女权即人%权的说法:把专门的词汇模糊化,目的是打压声音、否定女权,否定了作为女性遭遇的种种不公。针对“贫穷男性也很难啊”的说法:贫穷男性也是男性,也拥有男性的特权,尽管他们没有富有的特权。针对女性拥有靠男性上位的权力(bottom power)的说法:不过是依附于男性的权力,容易破碎,女性自身并没有权力。
评分购于纽约公共图书馆,每天回酒店看一点,在飞机上看完了。
评分我好像很久以前看过这个TED talk?这次是在巴厘岛机场看到这本小书才来读的。
