(2 reviews)
La edición ilustrada del clásico Todos deberíamos ser feministas de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
«Empecemos a soñar con un plan para un mundo distinto. Un mundo más justo. Un mundo de hombres y mujeres más felices y más honestos consigo mismos. Esta es la forma de empezar: criemos a nuestras hijas de otra forma. Y también a nuestros hijos.››
Tras su célebre charla TED, Chimamanda se convirtió en la portavoz del feminismo a nivel mundial. Esta edición, ilustrada por Leire Salaberria, ayudará a difundir su maravilloso y revelador mensaje de igualdad entre las nuevas generaciones.
«Imagínense lo libres que seríamos siendo quienes somos en realidad, sin sufrir la carga de las expectativas de género.»
More of an Adaptation of a Speech, but Concise and Appropriate.
