Below is the link to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TEDx Talk, "We Should All Be Feminists."

As you watch, consider the following questions:


  • Why does Adichie suggest that feminism and feminist are negative terms?
  • Why does Adichie call herself a "happy African feminist?"
  • What does Adichie mean when she quotes Nigerian Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai "the higher up you go, the fewer women there are."
  • According to Acichie, how have relations between women and men changed over time? What has not changed?
