Book Review	This short book is an expansion of Adichie’s TED Talk of the same name and serves as a good primer for anyone interested in an introduction to feminism, especially from a non-Western perspective (though Adichie is familiar with Western feminist “classics” and even talks about criticism she received for her ideas being too “Western”). Adichie discusses the ways in which anti-feminist thinking hurts both women and men, backed up by real-life anecdotes experienced by colleagues, friends, and herself in Nigeria and the United States. She also provides specific examples of ways that people can raise their children (both male and female) to counteract ingrained sexism in the culture.
