Introduction
How can we raise the next generation to continue the fight for women's equality?
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a critically acclaimed Nigerian author of novels including Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah.
Adichie has gained media attention as a leading voice on feminism since her viral 2012 TEDTalk, We Should All Be Feminists. It was later adapted into a book of the same title.
When Adiche's friend Ijeawele gave birth to her daughter, Chizalum, she requested Adichie's advice on how to help her child grow into a feminist.
Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions was published in 2018. It aims to help us all, whether or not we are raising children, to continue the fight for gender equality.
