Publisher's Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The highly acclaimed, provocative essay on feminism and sexual politics—from the award-winning author of Americanah

"A call to action, for all people in the world, to undo the gender hierarchy." —Medium

Excellent listen

It's a very well written essay, with excellent anecdotes and an easy-to-understand logic behind it's strong message

I'd recommend this to anyone; feminists, non-feminist men, kids, etc. The lessons are very relatable and for all people, and may be eye opening for some

The author is also an excellent narrator with a nice-to-listen-to smooth voice, which makes the listening experience all the more enjoyable

Excellent short listen

Should be required reading for all people - the issues of gender still exist today and cannot be dismissed. We must address them and works towards change. Loved her reading and her beautiful soothing voice
