Dear Ijeawele is Adichies letter of response: fifteen invaluable suggestionsdirect, wryly funny, and perceptivefor how to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. Filled with compassionate guidance and advice, it gets right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century, and starts a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.
