Speaking at the International Literature Festival Dublin, the writer discussed her work at the opening event at the Convention Centre.
Ngozi Adichie also referenced the ongoing campaign to repeal the Eighth Amendment, saying:
What we need in the world is to grow a culture where we value women. If we valued women as full human beings we would not be having the debate you’re having in Ireland now.”
She was gifted with a few Yes badges after the talk.

The talk was just what some exhausted Yes campaigners needed to lift their spirits.
