I WANTED A NEW BOOK AND WALKED BY A LITTLE LIBRARY AND GRABBED THE ONE THAT FELT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I'D NORMALLY READ. THIS IS A LETTER ABOUT RAISING A DAUGHTER IN A FEMINIST WAY AND IT ISN'T ANYTHING TOO WILD, BUT THE AUTHOR IS NIGERIAN AND WRITING TO SOMEONE NIGERIAN AND I REALLY LIKED THE POINTS WHERE  A CONCEPT WAS BROADLY RECOGNIZABLE BUT THE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE WAS UNIQUE.
