Raising Daughters

When a new mother asked author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie how to raise her daughter to be a feminist, the author responded by writing Dear Ijeawele, a book with fifteen empowering suggestions mothers should try—from rejecting traditional gender roles (“the knowledge of cooking does not come pre-installed in a vagina”) to leading by example (“do not define yourself solely by motherhood”).  In this episode of Babies Balance and Bliss, we discuss Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, and it’s parenting lessons.
