"Nigerian writer Chimamanda Adichie offers advice we all need in Dear Ijeawele, which is structured as tips for parenting a girl growing up in a man’s world. There are reminders that women are more than objects to be liked/disliked, that caregiving isn’t inherently female and, more than anything, that we should live our lives on our own terms. One of her hopes for the girl she addresses is that “she will be full of opinions and that her opinions will come from an informed, humane and broad-minded place.” If you’re short on time but want to be inspired by one of the strongest voices for gender equality today, this book will help you get to that informed, humane, broad-minded place."
