This is one of my favorite books so far. Yes, we brag about feminism not because women are superior to men or women needs more attention; but because, it's a basic human need. A need to be treated equally, a need to not be validated by someone and a need to not treat us as wife material. The author tells us the way women are treated since the age of time and how poisonous it is to stereotype men and women, in a very modest way possible. I hope this book changes the way we perceive women.

Adichie packs hard-hitting truths about the injustice of gender and bit-sized concepts of feminism in this very short but engaging essay. A must-read for anyone and everyone who cares about inequality between men and women.
