We should all be feminists - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie at TEDxEuston

I found out about this talk when I discovered that Beyoncé included an excerpt of it on her new album.  Jovonne later referenced the talk on a message that she posted on Facebook.

Here's what I found on Jovonne's message:

"In addition to the women who earn our respect and adoration for their appropriate hemlines and perfect posture, we need women who will stand out and stand up. We need women with big hair and red lipstick and hoops. We need women of defiance. We need women who sometimes cuss and shit and uncross their legs and make love but also fuck–on their own terms, for their own pleasure, without apology"
