From the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today - written as a letter to a friend. I have some suggestions for how to raise Chizalum. But remember that you might do all the things I suggest, and she will still turn out to be different from what you hoped, because sometimes life just does its thing. What matters is that you try. In We Should All be Feminists, her eloquently argued and much admired essay of 2014, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie proposed that if we want a fairer world we need to raise our sons and daughters differently. Here, in this remarkable new book, Adichie replies by letter to a friend's request for help on how to bring up her newborn baby girl as a feminist. With its fifteen pieces of practical advice it goes right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. Review: 'Take note world. When Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie tells you to listen, you listen' Stylist 'Dear Ijeawele reminds us that, in the history of feminist writing, it is often the personal and epistolary voice that carries the political story most powerfully - For me, the most powerful sentence in the book is its simplest, and comes in only the third paragraph. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie urges Ijeawele to remember to transmit to her daughter "the solid unbending belief that you start off with ... Your feminist premise should be: I matter. I matter equally. Not 'if only'. Not 'as long as'. I matter equally. Full stop."..there is no doubt that if we raised all of our daughters to believe completely that they "matter equally", to trust what they feel and think and to worry less about how they look and come across, we would soon find new ways to challenge the multiple injustices and indignities that still limit, and even wreck, so many women's lives.' New Statesman Praise for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: 'The book I'd press into the hands of girls and boys, as an inspiration for a future "world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves"' Books of the Year, Independent 'A writer with a great deal to say' The Times 'Here is a new writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers.' Chinua Achebe 'Adiche [has] virtuosity, boundless empathy and searing social acuity' Dave Eggers.

"Mary Shelley's Mathilda, the story of one woman's existential struggle after learning of her father's desire for her, has been identified as Shelley's most important work after Frankenstein. The two texts share many characteristics, besides authorship and contemporaneity: both concern parental abandonment; both contribute to the Gothic form through themes of incest, insanity, suicidality, monstrosity, and isolation; and both are epistolary. However, Mathilda was not published until 1959, 140 years after Shelley wrote it--in part because Shelley's father, William Godwin, suppressed it. This new edition encourages a critical reconsideration of a novella that has been critically stereotyped as biographical, and explores the importance of the novella to the Romantic debate about suicide. Historical appendices trace the connections between Mathilda and other works by Shelley and by her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, while also providing biographical documents, contemporary works on the theme of incest, and documents on suicide in the Romantic era."--

C’est un voyage mère-fille dans la terre d’origine de la mère, terre qu’elle a reniée, mais dont elle garde un accent plein de «r» roulés qui la complexent, et que je n’entends pas, et tous ses souvenirs d’enfance. Elle a passé maintenant bien plus d’années dans ce petit village de Suisse que dans sa Bucarest natale et elle déteste qu’on lui demande d’où elle vient. Mais même si, comme beaucoup d’immigrés, elle est plus patriote que ceux du cru, elle reste marquée par la provenance, et les odeurs, et tout ce qu’elle a appris là-bas, année après année jusqu’à ce qu’elle s’en aille. C’est pour ça que j’ai voulu ce voyage. Parce que cet accent et cette altérité sont la musique de mon enfance; c’est eux qui m’ont guidée vers l’âge adulte, et pourtant, je ne les perçois pas.

Ania hat ihren Vater jahrelang kaum gesehen. Da erreicht sie eines Tages ein Anruf seiner neuen Frau: Gabriel hat in der Nacht Selbstmord begangen. Der Freitod scheint im Zusammenhang mit dem Skandal zu stehen, den der als linker Intellektueller bekannte Radiojournalist ausgelöst hat, als er öffentlich Partei für zwei junge Einheimische ergriff, die an seinem Wohnort einen afrikanischen Sans-Papiers brutal ermordet haben. Als sich Ania zur Beerdigung in der Pariser Peripherie aufmacht, schlägt ihr in dem tief gespaltenen Dorf eine hasserfüllte Atmosphäre entgegen. Aber auch in ihrem alten Elternhaus stößt sie einzig auf Fremdheit und muss sich die Frage stellen, wie es dazu kommen konnte, dass ihr Vater eine solch unerträgliche Wendung vollzog. Pascale Kramer seziert in Autopsie des Vaters ein Land im Kippzustand. Das Skalpell ansetzend, erzählt sie vom Wegschauen, von der Abschottung einer ganzen Gesellschaftsschicht und wirft gleichzeitig ein schmerzhaft klares Licht auf das Innerste einer Familie, die verpasste Verständigung zwischen Vater und Tochter.
