Chimamanda Adiche Recognised :“200 Women: Who Will Change the Way You See the World”

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian writer of novels, short stories, and nonfiction. In 2008 she was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant. She was described in the Times Literary Supplement as “the most prominent” of a “procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors who is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African literature”
A new photography book aims a spotlight on the most inspiring, active, and intelligent women in the world. Geoff Blackwell and Ruth Hobday’s 200 Women: Who Will Change the Way You See the World contains insightful interviews with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jane Goodall, Alfre Woodard, and 197 other great women, presented alongside stunning portraits from photographer Kieran E. Scott. Bustle describes the book as ‘The coffee table book that will inform your activism in the days ahead”. Bustle has a peek inside 200 Women.
In a sneak peek interview with some of the women listed in the book by Bunsen, our very own Chimamanda Adiche had this to say to these questions:
Q. What would you change if you could?
I can’t pick just one thing; I would eliminate all forms of gender, racial and religious injustice. The issues are their own, independent issues, but they cannot be analysed in isolation from one another. It’s very complex and is always a work in progress for me — the issues are connected and they are not, but, however strong their connection to one another is, they’ve got to go!
Q. Which single word do you most identify with?
Human.
