Part 1 We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Summary"We Should All Be Feminists" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is an essay adapted from her TEDx talk, which provides a personal and passionate perspective on feminism and its relevance in today's world. Key Points of the Essay: Definition of Feminism: Adichie defines feminism as a movement for the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. She emphasizes that feminism is not about disregarding men but about striving for equity in roles, opportunities, and treatment for both genders. Personal Experiences: Through anecdotes from her life in Nigeria, Adichie highlights the subtle and blatant forms of gender discrimination women face. She recounts experiences from childhood to adulthood that illustrate societal expectations and pressures on women and girls, including how they are often discouraged from pursuing ambitious goals compared to their male counterparts. Cultural Conditioning: Adichie discusses how culture plays a significant role in shaping gender norms, asserting that society raises boys and girls differently, leading to power imbalances. She stresses the importance of awareness of these biases to challenge and change them. Importance of Feminism: The essay argues that everyone—regardless of gender—should be involved in feminist activism. Adichie asserts that true equality would benefit all, leading to a more just society. Challenges to Feminism: Adichie addresses common misconceptions about feminism, including the belief that it is a threat to men. She emphasizes that dismantling patriarchal norms can also free men from toxic expectations placed upon them. Call to Action: The essay concludes with a call for collective action against gender inequality. Adichie advocates for education and dialogue about feminism and encourages individuals to stand up against sexism in their daily lives. Overall, "We Should All Be Feminists" is a compelling argument for gender equality, providing insights into the ways in which society can work towards creating a more equitable world.Part 2 We Should All Be Feminists AuthorChimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian author born on September 15, 1977, in Enugu, Nigeria. She is well-known for her engaging storytelling and insightful perspectives on topics such as feminism, identity, and post-colonial experiences. We Should All Be FeministsRelease Date: The book "We Should All Be Feminists" was first published in 2014. It began as a TEDx talk given by Adichie in December 2012, which became widely popular and led to the book's publication.Content: The book is an essay that discusses the definitions of feminism and argues for a more inclusive and adaptive understanding of gender roles in contemporary society.

Our guest today is writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, revered in her home country of Nigeria and in the United States, thanks especially to the popularity of her 2013 novel Americannah, a book that straddles the cultures of America and Nigeria and considers the challenges, status, and perceptions of Africans abroad. Since then, Adichie has continued to write fiction and essays on a range of issues, from identity, to grief, to the role of women. Her Ted Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists,” has been viewed by millions and heard by even more when Beyonce sampled a portion in the song, “Flawless.”  Adichie is also the author of the novels Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus, the essays We Should All Be Feminists and Notes on Grief, and the story collection The Thing Around Your Neck.On March 7, 2025, Adchie came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to discuss her new novel, Dream Count, with Anna Malaika Tubbs, author of “Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us”, to be published in May 2025.

Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This author is known and loved for her deeply moving and profound works of fiction (for me, particularly, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun). This time it's the story of four Nigerian women, and as such spans a wide geography from Africa to America with a great insight into their friendships, loves, regrets and world views. It's very elegant and insightful storytelling – their lives were as authentic to me as those of women I actually know, and I loved it. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald. This is the fictional memoir of a woman who, on the eve of her 100th birthday looks back over her life, reflecting on the changes she's seen throughout her century and the many unexpected opportunities that came her way. This was the evolution of a naïve young immigrant to Australia who ended up living a life she could never have imagined – with all its struggle, grief, success, loves, disappointments and surprises. Betty is a very ordinary character who somehow lived an extraordinary life and it's a joy to read. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ibrahim Mahama is an installation artist who works with textiles, material production and found objects to create large-scale public interventions. He initially garnered widespread attention for his open-air installations made of stitched-together jute sacks that were draped on or over architectural structures, such as libraries, an airport, and a museum, in the cities of Accra and Kumasi, where he is based. His practise involves a collaborative process of sourcing, collecting, reproducing and installing the often-textile based materials he works with. His pieces speak to ideas around historical memories, traditional belief systems, local economies and the democratisation of art. Ibrahim's works have been shown in various group and solo shows, including The Norval Foundation in Cape Town, The White Cube in London and Hong Kong and has been a part of the Ghana Pavilion for 2019 Venice Biennale, among many others.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week is a flashback to October 2022 when I spent a weekend with writers at the Pa Gya! Literary Festival (http://writersprojectghana.com/pagyafest/) in Accra. I met Nigerian writer and cofounder of Narrative Landscape Press Limited, Dr. Eghosa Imasuen at the first panel I attended, “Can the African Book Industry Thrive?” For Eghosa the answer must be yes, especially as a firm that believes that owning the means of production is essential to a vibrant publishing industry. Narrative Landscapes Press is committed to more than simply printing physical books they also bring editorial and book design expertise to the fore while developing a cadre of excellent writers. Eghosa's second novel, Fine Boys, a coming-of-age novel, received wide acclaim in 2012 and was published in America by the Ohio University Press' Modern African Writers Series in 2021. When he's not writing or publishing, Eghosa teaches creative writing at the annual Chimamanda Adichie Creative Writing Workshop. Prior to launching into his literary career, he graduated with a medical degree from the University of Benin. In this feel good and insightful conversation, Dr. Eghosa shares tips on how to work with publishers and about the how business of bringing books to the people promises to change the narrative on literacy, lifestyle and literary careers all over Africa.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie vokste opp i Nigeria, er utdanna i USA og debuterte som forfatter med romanen «Purple Hibiscus» i 2003. I 2014 kom manifestet «We should all be feminists», basert på en TED-talk med samme navn. Utdrag fra den samme TED-talken dukket også opp på Beyoncés selvtitulerte album fra 2013 og låta «Flawless». Men for forfatter, slampoet og aktivist Guro Sibeko er Adichie først og fremst en modig og toneangivende forfatter, som skriver akkurat sånne bøker hun selv ønsker å skrive.

Nigerian-born author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is one of my most beloved writers. Talking to her in person was a dream came true. Adichie´s novels Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, and Americanah have been translated into over thirty languages and won many international prizes and awards. Her 2009 TED Talk, The Danger of A Single Story, is now one of the most-viewed TED Talks of all time, and her 2012 talk We Should All Be Feminists has a started a worldwide conversation about feminism. In Feminine Gender podcast we talk about hope and love, as well as feminism, subtlety of today´s misogyny, female bodies, and about the fact that women are first and foremost human beings with their own rights.

In This Episode: For the past few weeks, my country Nigeria has been in the spotlight of World News, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been for great things. I do not condone or support any acts of fraud, kidnapping, or violence. However, I have noticed that even though 80% of Nigerian’s are good people who are doing great things around the world. The media has decided to concentrate on the 20% who have done shameful things. While we stand up against the evil acts of the 20%, we must not forget to also celebrate the good things that the other 80% are doing. Mentioned In This Episode: 1.

Trish and Jess disagree about a variety of books from beginning to end. Trish fails to appreciate "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman the way it deserves, but they agree entirely that "Purple Hibiscus" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is great, and that the character development was clear when they had epiphanies about one character through the eyes of another. They finish with Top 5 books they've hated, and have moments of great agreement and dispute. Next month, they read "The Museum of Extraordinary Things" by Alice Hoffman.

As teenagers in a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country if they can. Ifemelu goes to America to study. She suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships and friendships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race. Obinze had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London.Fifteen years later Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an eye-opening blog about race in America. When Ifemelu returns to Nigeria and reunites with Obinze, they face the toughest decisions of their lives. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is the author of the story collection The Thing Around Your Neck and two novels, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun, which won the Orange Prize and was a National Book Critics Circle finalist. She earned a master's degree in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University and an M.A. in African Studies from Yale University.
