In this special ±«Óãtv 100 Women interview, author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discusses the responsibilities that come with being seen by many as a 'feminist icon'.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's books have been translated into over 30 languages around the world, and her TedTalk, We Should All be Feminists, was even featured in Beyonce's song Flawless. Her newest writing however deals with the very personal grief of losing her father.

Her mother also died unexpectedly in the last year, and in this special ±«Óãtv 100 Women interview, Adichie tells us why she has chosen to be so open about this time in her life. She also discusses the responsibilities that come with being seen by many as a 'feminist icon', her views on trans women and language, and why she is critical of 'cancel culture'.
