"Tell Chizalum that women actually don't need to be championed and revered; they just need to be treated as equal human beings.”

This was a letter written to a friend when a friend asked how she could raise her daughter to be a feminist. That in and of itself was a powerful motivator to read this but it also opened my eyes and even reaffirmed some truths that I would quietly think to myself.
I would recommend this to any woman who has ever dealt with an insecurity as well as every man who has ever loved a woman.

A great little book - full of pearls of wisdom.

Short sweet and to the point. Just how I like it. Definitely had some views that were different than mine but what was so refreshing is it never felt patronizing or condescending. Definitely made me reconsider why I feel certain ways about things
An endlessly quotable, thought provoking examination of how to raise a feminist.
