Chimamanda Adichie For April 2015 Issue Of Vogue(Photos)

The award winning writer talks about her journey as a writer, her devotion of feminism and more ... In an interesting interview below

     The oppression if woman, she says,
     "Makes me angry. I cannot be angry.  I
      don't know how you can just be calm.
      My family says to me, 'Oh, you are
      such a man!' -you know, very
      lovingly... But of course I'm not, I just
      don't see why I shouldn't speak my
      mind."  She got into trouble for
      speaking her mind in Nigeria: when an
      interviewer addressed her as Mrs
      Chimamanda Adichie, she corrected
      him, saying she wished to be known
      as "Ms,"  which the journalist
      reported  as Miss".
      Her insistence on her own family
      name was all over the news last
      spring. She should be happy to be
      addressed as "Mrs", she was told,
      since she was, after all, married. She
      laughs now, but it's clear the story
      still disturbs her. "It was the lack of
      gratitude on my part for having a
      husband. And yet I didn't want to
      proclaim it: I wanted to claim my own
      name."
