200 Women contains astute interviews and stunning portraits of 200 iconic women from a variety of backgrounds, including Danielle Brooks (Orange Is The New Black), Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave), Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid’s Tale) and more.
In an excerpt from the book, which asked Chimamanda what she would change in the world if she could, she answered:
“I can’t pick just one thing; I would eliminate all forms of gender, racial and religious injustice.
The issues are their own, independent issues, but they cannot be analysed in isolation from one another.
It’s very complex and is always a work in progress for me — the issues are connected and they are not, but, however strong their connection to one another is, they’ve got to go!”
When asked, in conclusion, about the single word she most identifies with, Chimamanda answered simply and insightfully: “Human”.
