Adichie writes that what matters most in combatting sexism is that we change “our attitude, our mind-set” (35). What do you think she means by this, and what about this change might be especially hard?
Adichie’s tone in this essay is often humorous but is also blunt and direct. How do you think her tone relates to her subject matter? How does it make the essay effective?
The essay often refers to Adichie’s Nigerian culture. How would you describe her attitude toward that culture and toward culture in general? What about her culture does she appreciate, and what about it does she find frustrating?
