'My kind of feminism'

"Adichie describes herself as a very happy feminist. Strong women drive many of the stories in her books. She quietly supports women writers (Marie-Elena John, the Antiguan author of Unburnable, is a favourite) and backs women in politics in any country. But she stresses the word "happy", she says, because to her being a feminist is about more than outrage; it is about being a woman who likes and stands up for other women."

[Having expressed a few times (e.g. here), my misgivings about some strains of feminist thought I subscribe to this one though...]
