Now a mother herself, she realises and values the importance of trying your best to raise children that value the importance of creating a fairer world for all. With that realisation, she then proceeded to write her friend a letter and this little uplifting, insightful manual is a version of that letter. Through this she had done a lot of observing and listening. She confesses that her first thought was that she had no clue and that it was a mammoth task when in fact she has spoken about feminism and helped to baby sit her nephews and nieces. Chimamanda Adichie Ngozi’s book Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, perfectly sums up how to go about fulfilling the task of raising a feminist child.Īdichie begins the book by explaining how a few years ago a good friend of hers asked her how to raise her baby girl as a feminist.
