The Swedish Women’s Lobby, along with several other organizations, are distributing Adichie’s work in hopes that it will integrated into the teaching curriculum and spur discussion about gender equality. The 64-page essay, adapted from Adichie’s TEDx talk and originally published in English last year, was translated and published in Swedish this week. All eleventh grade high school students in Sweden are being given Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s book “We Should All Be Feminists.”
