Earlier this month, a short essay by a bestselling, prize-winning author was published with little fanfare. It wasn’t reviewed by any of the national newspapers or tipped to be a Christmas chart topper. But Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s We Should All Be Feminists might just be the most important book you read all year.
Based on a TEDx talk the Nigerian writer gave in 2012, We Should All Be Feminists is a potent tour de force on the subject of gender equality; one that whispers rather than shouts and confides rather than chides. There is no excuse not to read it – particularly as it is just 52 pages long. A lunch break or commute would provide ample opportunity.
