It seems to me that the word feminist, and the idea of feminism itself, is also limited by stereotypes. I had spoken at a different TED conference a few years before, giving a talk titled ‘The Danger of the Single Story’ about how stereotypes limit and shape our thinking, especially about Africa. Speakers from diverse fields deliver concise talks aimed at challenging and inspiring Africans and friends of Africa. "Nuanced and rousing." -Vogue INTRODUCTION This is a modified version of a talk I delivered in December 2012 at TED圎uston, a yearly conference focused on Africa. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author's exploration of what it means to be a woman now-and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists. In this personal, eloquently-argued essay-adapted from the much-admired TEDx talk of the same name-Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness.
The highly acclaimed, provocative New York Times bestseller from the award-winning author of Americanah.
