"I am convinced of the moral urgency of working together to imagine a different kind of education for our children, to try to create a world that is more just for women and men. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wrote a letter to a friend asking for advice on how to raise her newborn daughter according to the rules of feminism, which quickly became a manifesto. This text, which has become a reference, is addressed to everyone: to men and women, to parents-to-be and to the child that remains in each of us.
Translated from the English (Nigeria) by Marguerite Capelle and published by Gallimard
