Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: ‘I decided to call myself a Happy Feminist’
In her hit TED talk, the award-winning novelist set out her dreams for a fairer world: this is an extract from the published version
• Read Jacqueline Rose's article 'We need a bold, scandalous feminism' hereIn 2003, I wrote a novel called Purple Hibiscus, about a man who, among other things, beats his wife, and whose story doesn't end too well. While I was promoting the novel in Nigeria, a journalist, a nice, well-meaning man, told me he wanted to advise me. (Nigerians, as you might know, are very quick to give unsolicited advice.) He told me that people were saying my novel was feminist, and his advice to me – he was shaking his head sadly as he spoke – was that I should never call myself a feminist, since feminists are women who are unhappy because they cannot find husbands.
So I decided to call myself a Happy Feminist.
