We should all be feminists- Book review


We should all be feminists
Chimamanda ngozi adichie
Genre- essay, biography

#Feminist - A person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.

#Feminism is a taboo in our society. It has become such a small and filthy thing to announce yourself as a feminist. The concept itself is losing its meaning.#chimamandangoziadichie , with this book "We should all be feminists" establishes the lost and devoured meaning of feminism with its actual essence. Every person should read this book to understand the core meaning of feminism and it's importance. It's subtly explained how we forget and accept things instead of changing them. Every girl, once in her lifetime must have been oppressed, for sure. We don't realise it as oppression because we are used to it. Now is the time to realise and take a step forward. This book has inspired me to step forward and stand for myself. I hope it helps every woman and man to realise the unrecognised mistakes and stand for the change. The change in our attitudes can help us have happy lives.#happywomensday

"If we do something over and over again it becomes normal. If we say the same thing over and over again it becomes normal."

"52% of the world's population is female but most of the positions of power and prestige are occupied by men."

"In literal way, men rule the world. Thus made sense 2000 years ago because human beings lived then in a world in which physical strength was the most important attribute for survival. The physically stronger person was more likely to lead. And Men in general are physically stronger. Today, we live in a vastly different world. The person more qualified to lead is not the physically stronger person. It is the more intelligent, the more knowledgeable, the more creative, more innovative. And there are no hormones for those attributes. A man is as likely as a woman to be intelligent, innovative, creative. We have evolved but our ideas of gender have not evolved very much."

More in the book. You should read it to truly and simply understand feminism.

Norwegian Wood

It is a sweet bitter feeling to finish reading a book. And when the ending is left to our own imagination, the story and emotions linger behind us. It is been a day I finished reading this book, yet I cannot start with another book. The characters Naoko, Midori and Toru have been portrayed very well. Each character has it's own way of teaching you something. Reiko's character lifts your spirits up and give you that go, her being my favourite. It is too dark and deep a book to really understand the inner meaning of every word. Overall I loved reading Haruki Murakami for the first time.  "Despite your best efforts, people are going to be hurt when it's time for them to be hurt. Life is like that." "Death exists, not as the opposite but as a part of life." "No truth can cure the sadness we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness, can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see that sadness through to the end a

PSEPHOLOGY

INTRODUCTION: Psephology is simply the study of elections or survey for the prediction of election results. It basically depicts the election campaigns, election processes, the participants and employs statistical analysis to evaluate, analyse and interpret the predicted results on the basis of studying the people's behaviour. Psephology is derived from a Greek word Psephos meaning pebbles. An interesting story is related to the the adoption of this name. Earlier the pebbles(ballots) were thrown into an urns which represented the vote rate of elections in Athens, Greece. EMERGENCE AND PROCEDURE FOLLOWED: For the first elections, there was no need for the election study as there was a single party which had a clear majority. But emergence of many parties in the late 1960's had led to the need for the psephology to emerge. In 1960's, the congress suffered its majority in centre and the states. There was a complete destabilization of the congress and apprehen
