Quote by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: “We should all be feminists.”

Feminism is often misunderstood as something only for women or something extreme. Adichie argues it simply means believing in the equal social, political, and economic rights of all genders — something anyone with a conscience should support. The word itself needs reclaiming, not avoiding.

Adichie delivered the TEDx talk that became the essay We Should All Be Feminists in 2012, published as a book in 2014. The same year, Beyoncé sampled Adichie's words in the song Flawless, bringing the argument to a global pop audience. The timing coincided with a surge in online feminist discourse driven by social media.
