Un libro que recoge el trascendental y emblematico discurso que dio la autora en su TEDx Talk sobre lo que significa ser feminista en el siglo XXI.
Ser feminista no es solo cosa de mujeres. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie lo demuestra en este elocuente y perspicaz texto, en el que nos brinda una definicion singular de lo que significa ser feminista en el siglo XXI. Con un estilo claro y directo, y sin dejar de lado el humor, esta carismatica autora explora el papel de la mujer actual y apunta ideas para hacer de este mundo un lugar mas justo.
Hoy me gustaria pedir que empecemos a sonar con un plan para un mundo distinto. Un mundo mas justo. Un mundo de hombres y mujeres mas felices y mas honestos consigo mismos. Y esta es la forma de empezar: tenemos que criar a nuestras hijas de otra forma. Y tambien a nuestros hijos.
ENGLSIH DESCRIPTION
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.
