Women Criminal Defense Attorneys: We Should All Be Feminists

I just read a short essay titled We Should all Be Feminists by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

It is a short but powerful summary of Adichie’s Ted Talk that she gave in December 2012. Both the essay and the Ted Talk are truthful and bold statements about the overt and subtle gender discrimination that women still face in our society. She rightfully encourages both men and women to reclaim the notion of being feminists. She states “Culture does not make people. People make culture. If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture.” Listen to the Ted Talk here.
