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.
“修正”性别问题——读《女性的权利》 文/凡悦颜 习以为常是个可怕的词,一件事见的多了、做的多了,哪怕不那么合理,人们也见怪不怪了。 比如全世界女人比男人多一点,但位居权重的职位大部分是由男人占据的。大家可能忘记了,现在更多是靠学识、智慧、创意说话的时代,而...
评分双十一在当当买书,社会学排行榜里前三名就有波伏瓦的《第二性》这让我很欣慰——读书人(或者说女读书人)终于也在且行且思考了,顺便买的这本小书,其实主要是冲着《女性的权利》这个名字来的,买了很多女权的书,热爱这个话题。这本书很小很薄,而且我十分想不通为什么只有8...
评分《女性的权利》的作者尼日利亚作家阿迪契曾在TED讲台上做过另一场演讲,主题是“单一故事的危险性”,在演讲中,她旁征博引,也举了很多生活中的例子,向“刻板印象”发起挑战,特别是人们所质疑的所谓“真实的非洲感”。因为成见,人与人之间显示出了更大的差异与隔阂,正如不...
评分She begins with a number of personal anecdots about growing up in Nigeria. Each of her stories is to show a few of the significant obstacles faced by feminists. For example, she was criticized as a feminist by her best friends at an early age. Besides, some...
评分什么是女权?和朋友谈到女权的时候,得到的反馈往往是负面的,他们往往望文生义,脑海中的第一反应是“母夜叉”,是和男权相反的另一个极端——霸道、野蛮、粗鲁,只不过主角变成了女人。在一段相当漫长的时间里,我一方面恐惧女权带给自己的霸道印象,一方面却又对女性力量的...
竟然是个才几十页的TED talk,不过适合给本科生上课入门。喜欢这个标签——“Happy African Feminist Who Does Not Hate Men And Who Likes To Wear Lip Gloss And High Heels For Herself And Not For Men.”
评分立场清晰。性别歧视的存在很严重,从我们大家每个人做起,从小孩子的教育开始,make this a fair world.
评分购于纽约公共图书馆,每天回酒店看一点,在飞机上看完了。
评分“All of us, women and men, must do better.”
评分“If we do something over and over again, it becomes normal. If we see the same thing over and over again, it becomes normal.”
