Beyoncé had of course asked permission to quote Adichie, and, as Adichie points out, “With this song she has reached many people who would otherwise probably never have heard the word feminism, let alone gone out and buy my essay.” But the Americanah author doesn’t entirely agree with Beyoncé’s politics, even as she is enthusiastic about her political engagement. Though, as the author points out in a new interview with Dutch paper De Volkskrant, she was already pretty famous, and bristled at the implication that she should be publicly thankful to the musician. When Beyoncé quoted Chimananda Ngozi Adichie’s TED Talk “We Should All Be Feminists” in “Flawless,” Adichie and her work suddenly became the focus of massive international attention. ![]() Photo: Jim Spellman/WireImage/Getty Images ![]()
