100 Women

Available for over a year

She became famous when her TedTalk ‘We should all be feminists’ was featured in Beyonce’s song Flawless, but her books have been translated into over 30 languages around the world. Her newest writing deals with the very personal grief of losing her father and mother in the last year. In an exclusive BBC 100 Women interview, Adichie tells us why she has chosen to be so open about this time. She also discuss the responsibilities of being seen by some as an ‘icon’, her thoughts on what she sees as ‘language orthodoxy’ around trans women, and on cancel culture.
