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.

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 dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general- but to choose to use the vague expression 'human rights' is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries been excluded. It would be a way of denying that the problem of gender targets women. That the problem was not about being human, but specifically about being a female human. (查看原文)
When it comes to gender, it seems to make others uncomfortable to use the word feminism or feminist. To be honest, I used to say I'm a feminist and proud of being one. But I noticed and realized that quite often when I talk about gender and feminism, it mak...

一般。不是说内容不好，只是对我来说太入门和浅显了。所以真正的问题是，为什么这样浅显的内容还要如此不停地重复。

I don't get it. I thought all these should be self-evident. Yet at least half of the population thinks otherwise.

立场清晰。性别歧视的存在很严重，从我们大家每个人做起，从小孩子的教育开始，make this a fair world.
