About the Author
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian-born novelist. Adichie has lived in the United States for much of her adult life, and has been awarded master’s degrees in creative writing from Johns Hopkins and African studies from Yale; she was also a MacArthur Fellow and held fellowships at Harvard and Princeton universities. Adichie was inspired to write as a child after reading the work of Chinua Achebe; her novels and stories have often examined questions of Nigerian identity, marriage and gender roles, and post-colonial politics. Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus, won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book; Half of a Yellow Sun (2006; Folio 2022), her second, was awarded the Orange Prize for Fiction and was later voted the ‘Winner of Winners’ of this prize in its 25-year history. Americanah, her third novel, won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Adichie’s TEDx talk, ‘We should all be feminists’, has been viewed more than seven million times and helped make her one of the most prominent feminist commentators of our times.
