Discrimination to women in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s

“We Should All Be Feminists”

C himamanda Ngozi Adichie is a female author
who apart from writing the book “We Should
All Be Feminists” - which was adapted from a very
admired TEDxEuston talk she made in 2012- is
the award winning author of Americanah and also
gave a talk named “The Dangers of the Single Sto-
ry”, which is also about stereotypes and African
women. She wrote the book aiming to make read-
ers know the reality of what it means to be a wom-
an today, by telling her own experiences. (Adichie,
2014, p.3) In this essay deals with how gender dis-
crimination is described in Adichie’s book, and the
fact that it is becoming normal.

In the book, she tells the story of her early life

when she wanted to be her class monitor (honor
given to whoever got the highest score) but she
found out it had to be a boy. Adichie mentions
that “if we do something over and over again, it
becomes normal. If we see the same thing over
and over again it becomes normal. If only boys
are made class monitors, then at some point we
will all think, even unconsciously, that the class
monitor has to be a boy. If we keep seeing only
men as heads of corporations, it starts to seem
‘natural’ that only men should be heads of corpora-
tions.”(Adichie, 2014, p.13) In this paragraph, she
explains that things that are wrong and should not
become normal are becoming normal because they
happen frequently. This happens, especially, with
stereotypes against women. We should all be able
to be heads of corporations because women have
the same abilities as men, but these stereotypes we
create “unconsciously” (as she explains), make ev-
eryone think women should not. First, discrimina-
tion should not happen frequently; and second, if
we were able to start it, we should be able to stop
it right now and make something about it. The fact
