Internationally acclaimed Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was one of the many thousands of women who, fearing their rights and freedom under threat from a Trump Administration, took to the streets to proclaim there was no room for a dictator in American politics.

In the wake of Trump’s victory at the polls, Adichie described him in an article in the New Yorker as “an unstable, stubbornly uninformed, authoritarian demagogue,” adding, “that here are people living in visceral fear, people anxiously trying to discern policy from bluster, and people kowtowing as though to a new king.”
