Based on the popular TEDx talk and the New York Times best-selling book, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s guided journal contains her most inspiring quotes, writing prompts, and an exclusive introductory essay. This beautifully illustrated hardcover journal is destined to empower and challenge, and help readers discover their own feminist journeys.

“Feminism for me has been about unlearning and learning. About daring—to want, to take, to be. About choosing to live with the belief that I fully matter. It is a process, a lifelong journey.” —Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
 
Now, in this beautiful journal, Adichie’s most inspirational words encourage you to find your own voice, to reflect on what feminism means to you, and to tell your own story. Featuring:
 
  • A series of guided writing prompts
  • Powerful and inspiring quotes
  • Important events in the history of feminism
  • Gorgeous illustrations
  •  
    Her award-winning novels, including Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah; her stirring calls to arms We Should All Be Feminists and Dear Ijeawele; her collaboration with Beyoncé; sharing the stage with Michelle Obama—each of these accomplishments has contributed to best-selling author and global feminist icon Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie becoming one of the most important feminist figures of our time. We Should All Be Feminists: A Guided Journal promises to give readers the tools to both understand feminism and help them succeed at becoming better, more confident writers and communicators. The perfect gift for everyone—including yourself!
    "We Should All Be Feminists: A Guided Journal is, really, a course about the world...Though it is, of course, based on the book within its title, it truly does go beyond what that book did so successfully (help destigmatize the concept of feminism) by laying out a daily practice that begins with understanding, and then coaxes out each reader’s engagement to come up with better definitions, better ideas, better ways for feminists of all sexes and races and sexual and identity preferences to exist in the world of men...It is a smart, informed guide to modern, intersectional feminist thought." --Anjanette Delgado, New York Journal of Books

    "The hardbound volume is beautifully rendered in pages that will inspire introspection and self-revelation...The guided journal offers an invitation to reflect on lived experiences...it can be useful for anyone who wants to embark on a journey of self-discovery to examine deeply held beliefs, while also focusing attention on what can be done to advance the feminist cause." --Maileen Hamto, San Francisco Book Review
