Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Book to Be Gifted to Every 16-Year-Old in Sweden

By Maryann Yin 

Feminist Book Cover (GalleyCat)Sweden will gift a copy of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s We Should All Be Feminists to every 16- year-old in the country. The Swedish Women’s Lobby organization and the Albert Bonniers publishing house have formed a partnership.

They announced their hope “that We Should All Be Feminists will work as a stepping stone for a discussion about gender equality and feminism.” The Guardian reports that the collaborators launched this venture at Norra Real High School (based in Stockholm).

According to The Telegraph, the publisher released the Swedish translation of Adichie’s book, entitled Alla borde vara feminister, on Dec. 01, 2015. Click here to watch a video with Adichie’s message for the teens who will soon receive her book.
