NEW YORK ― Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards and acclaimed feminist author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie had a riveting conversation about feminism and activism on Wednesday night. The two icons sat down with Katie Couric to discuss how to raise a feminist for Tina Brown’s Women in the World Summit, which kicked off that day. Richards, a mother of three, and Adichie, a new mother of a young daughter, talked about the ever-changing landscape of feminist activism, especially in light of President Donald Trump’s administration. When Couric asked Richards what she thinks of young women who refuse to identify as feminists, the Planned Parenthood president pointed to the impact of the Women’s March. “Women didn’t just march, they’re now going to town hall meetings, speaking to members of their Congress, calling and really taking action,” Richards replied.
