Our take on the Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

Dear Ijeawele is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's short book of fifteen practical suggestions for raising a daughter as a feminist, written as a letter to a friend who asked how to do it. It grew out of her essay and TED talk and reads in one sitting, with each suggestion a few pages long. The 2018 Fourth Estate paperback is the common English edition. At $4.49 at alibris as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with four stores listing it new.
