SUMMARY
In short, through these books Adicchie has made a good introduction to, let's say, classic feminism. It highlights the gender stereotypes and discrimination that still exist in our society today. But, by not citing them, he denies the existence of people who are not straight, of those who are not cis, of those who, in fact, do not fit into the norm that the author criticizes. His gesture is commendable. The author writes a truly inclusive introduction. We finish reading with the bitter feeling that she has left a certain number of people on the side of the road along the way. In her works of fiction, Adichie does not often focus on the struggles of women, but rather on the lived experiences of women and how they can be shaped by patriarchal values. The experiences are not all necessarily negative, but focus on how society fixes on how women exist in relation to men, rather than independently as their own people. This is an important observation to make in understanding the role of gender in our society. Maierhofer comments on Adichie's portrayal of gender inequality by saying, "Through her characters, she tries to present her ideas not only about gender equality, but about women in general.
