Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Redefines "Feminist"



In this amazing +TEDxEuston talk, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie draws brilliantly from her "happy," "African," and "female" background to redefine "feminist" as "a man or a woman who says, yes, there's a problem with gender as it is today and we must fix it; we must do better."

  3. Adichie is indeed Achebe's 21st century literary daughter. She has a very confident approach to burning issues of identity, gender, and race.

      "The feminist" video is powerful, new way of thinking. I hope my people in Zambia should watch this though I know already what would be their reactions.....lol
