4. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The other book on the list was 'Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions' by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Chopra wrote about the book that said "filled with compassionate guidance and advice, it gets right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century and starts a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today". Adichie is a feminist and she has written the novels Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, and Americanah.
5. Glennon Doyle
The last book on the list was 'Untamed' by Glennon Doyle. Chopra wrote on the story "in her most revealing and powerful memoir yet, the beloved activist, speaker, and bestselling author explore the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world and start trusting the voice deep within us". Doyle is also the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women-led nonprofit organization supporting women, families, and children in crisis.
