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.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie grew up in Nigeria.
Her work has been translated into over thirty languages and has appeared in various publications, including The New Yorker, Granta, The O. Henry Prize Stories, the Financial Times, and Zoetrope. She is the author of the novels Purple Hibiscus, which won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award; Half of a Ye...

- "有些人问，“为什么要用‘女权主义者’一词？为什么不直接说你主张人权，或类似那样的话？”因为那将具有欺骗性。女权主义，当然，是广义上人权的一部分——但选择使用“人权”这个含糊的表述，等于否认性别问题的特殊性和具体性。那将用以佯装，千百年来，受到排斥的不是女人。那将用以否认，性别问题针对的是女性。事实上，那个问题关系的不是全体人类，而是特定地关系到作为女性的人。千百年来，世界把人类分成两个群体，进而排斥和压迫一个群体。要解决问题，必须承认那一点，这才合理公道。 有些男人感觉受到女权主义观念的威胁。在我看来，这源自男孩从小所受的教育所触发的不安全感：男人，假如他们不能“自然地”居于主掌地位，他们的自"
