“By far the worst thing we do to males - by making them feel they have to be hard - is that we leave them with very fragile egos. The harder a man feels compelled to be, the weaker his ego is” (pg 27).

“The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are” (pg 34).

“Culture does not make people. People make culture” (pg 46).

Grade: A

Simple, short, yet powerful read. I love most everything Miss Adichie writes or says, and this was no different.
