According to Chimamanda Adichie, she never intended to support feminism.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Adichie claimed that feminism had never been in her goals while speaking at the WIMBIZ Conference on Friday, November 4.
She claimed that witnessing the oppression of women in society had inspired her advocacy.
The pressure that society places on women who marry later in life, choose not to have children, or leave an abusive marriage was criticized by Adichie.
She stated: “I never intended to become a feminist icon, but I can’t bear how society treats women, and I believe I have a platform to make a difference, however small.
“A woman finds the strength to leave an abusive marriage, but instead of receiving consolation and support, she is subjected to abuse and insults, even from other women. The story has to be revised.
People don’t have to agree with your position; all that matters is that you can go to sleep at night confident in what you did and said.
She continued by saying that society’s criticism stifles the greatness that women possess. She also asked women to sincerely support one another.
She said, “You can’t rule the world and be the greatest you can be if you’re so condemned and persecuted as a woman.”
