Abstract
In this paper, I explore the feminist literary activism represented by the creative and critical works of the award-winning Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She has written the novel Americanah in the year 2013 which features female protagonists through whom she provides powerful critiques of the androcentric social, cultural, and political structures of the societies she focuses on. These are the major ways in which Adichie has made substantial contributions to feminist activism both on a global scale and in postcolonial societies. Using a narrative and socio-literary framework, I examine the feminist critique offered in this work to highlight Adichie’s contributions to current feminist literary activism and scholarship.
