Nigeria's Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was featured on Vogue Korea as the Today's Vogue Woman.
For her interview, the Americanah author spoke in Igbo and English.
She looked stylish in a colourful sunflower dress and matching footwear.
During the interview, she spoke about what feminism is, the #MeToo movement and raising her daughter in a male-dominated world.
"Becoming a mother has brought an incredible amount of joy into my life. I've experienced the kind of love that I just didn't know existed. But I also no longer own my time and I think it's really the most significant change that has happened to me since I had a child," Chimamanda said.
On fashion, she said, "I spend way too much time thinking about what to wear," she laughs, adding jokingly, "That's a problem because it means I haven't finished my novel."
Getting serious, she said: "I think for me, fashion is joyous and joyful and it's really about me wearing what I like. I'm not interested in what is supposed to be fashionable or a trend. If I like it I wear it. And, for me again, fashion is, sort of, putting on the armour with which I face the world.
"When I'm well dressed, in general, when I like what I'm wearing, I just generally feel better and more confident and more willing to go out into the world and do my work."
