Due the overwhelming rise of cosmopolitanism as a phenomenon, the Africanliterature, like other literatures, is no longer a planet that spins around its own axis.Consequently, the African literary works that are written by some prolific female writers arewidely read and acknowledged. The eagerness of the contemporary female writers to addressthe issue of gender equality and convey their experiences as Africans paves the way for thefeminist ideology to be introduced to African societies. Thus, this research sheds light on thegender issues related to African immigrant women in Americanah(2013), written by thecontemporary feminist novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In other words, it investigatesthe influence of the host country, America, on the way these women perceive themselves.Additionally, this work highlights the hurdles Ifemelu, the protagonist, manages to overcomein the USA where she fosters her Activism as a true feminist that decides to return to Lagos,her native soil, to defend her own cause. To do so, this study adopts a feminist readingthrough the lens of the contemporary fourth wave along with some perceptions of KimberléCrenshaw's concept of intersectionality to draw attention to the jeopardy of the overlappedfactors of discrimination in the USA. This research Further delves into the journey of self-rediscovery of Ifemelu as a returnee to Nigeria. Throughout the incidents she encounters inLagos we aim at drawing a link with the incidents Adichie herself experienced using herfamous essay "We Should All Be feminists" (2012). Finally, this work comes to conclude thatthe core essence of feminism as an ideology, despite its divergent definitions and struggles, isto accomplish women's upliftment.
