I like Chimamanda.But his time around she goofed. 
Chimamanda Adichie is a very vocal feminist. That she doesn't attempt to hide. A lot of chauvinistic men may not like her much but I'm very comfortable with such strong willed ladies. 

But In the interview below, she really made a mountain out of a mole hill. Even without being asked she begins to say she doesn't want to take up her hubby's surname, that's absolutely fine. Anyone can respect that. But no one is fighting you over it. And if she wants to continue being referred to as 'Ms' (Miss) as a prefix to her name even after being married, its totally up to her. We all can respect her decisions bothering on her life. Chimam please answer me this; in the opening part of this interview, who asked you? 

Nigerian writer, novelist and orange prize winner, Chimamanda Adichie in a recent interview said she should not be addressed using Mrs: 
‘Before we start, please, I just want to say that my name is Chimamanda Adichie. That’s how I want it; that’s how I’m ad-dressed, and it is not Mrs but Miss. Ms: that’s how I want it’ 

 INTERVIEWER: You started by telling me that you’re not “Mrs.”… (cuts in) My name is Chimamada Adichie. If you want to put label for me, put Ms. *TheCommentsHub: haba chi! Na fight?* 

INTERVIEWER: But people know that you’re married. As an Igbo girl, you know our culture… (Cuts in again) What does our culture do? Let me tell you about our culture. This thing that you are calling our culture –that when you marry somebody, you’ll start call-ing her Mrs. Somebody –is not our culture; it is Western culture. If you want to talk about our culture, you need to go to people in real Igbo land. But it is true. My grandfather’s name is David. His name is also Nwoye. They call him Nwoye Omeni. Omeni was his mother. You know why? It is to help distinguish him, because there are often many wives. So, it was his mother that they used to identify him. They know that all of these people came from the same compound, but whose child is this one. You may go and ask people who is Nwoye Omeni, and they’ll tell you it is my grandfather. So, conversation about culture is a long one. I don’t even want to have it. 

 INTERVIEWER: But, at what point would you change your name? Yes; because it’s all fused. You cannot then come and impose something on somebody. Nobody should come and impose something on somebody, because, if you come and tell me it is our culture, I’ll tell you it is not our culture. Where do you want to start counting? Do you want to start counting in 1920, or do you want us to start counting from 1870? 

INTERVIEWER: But culture is dynamic… Exactly my point, which is why this is new. If culture is dynamic, you cannot use it as conservative tool. We can-not then say it has to be this because it is our culture. My point is that it is a new thing. Things are changing. We live in a world now where women have a right to bear the name they want. So, we cannot say this is how we do it. If some women want to do it that way, that’s fine! God bless them. Some women won’t do it. I am one of those women, and nobody will come to use culture to tell me that I should do what I don’t want to do.

TheCommentsHub found an interesting comment: After reading the interview, 'Birdman' commented 

"Lol. Sensible (and mature) guys run from women like these. Her outward rebellion is a sign of something internal. I pity the poor dude who allowed her fame to cloud his judgement and jumped on the bandwagon. Dude is going to bed with fire on a nightly basis. First it was feminism, then gays, now culture is whatever suits her. I know there are a few oyinbo NGOs licking their chops...they have found another "educated" african they can use tear up our social fabric. I expect her invitations to speak to double, now that she has shown she is willing to drag her culture on the floor if need be. For those saying this is a strong, intelligent woman, you insult the memories of real strong African women. Our strongest women (and men) are recognized by the sacrifices they made. What we have here is vanity, selfishness and pride, and there is nothing strong about that."

 Oops! Is Chimamanda loosing her female followers with her constant outbursts on sensitive issues? Because her comments on homosexuality in africa certainly didn't go down well with many guys and ladies alike. And certainly didn't go down well with me. She could try to balance her thoughts on modernization and culture especially, of Africa.
