Now granted, I've not fully fleshed this idea out, but in the light of @theflushedzebra pointing out that trans activists never seem to stop giving each other awards, we should have our own virtual FWR awards for services to feminism in 2019.

As the founder of this ceremony, I expect designers will be queuing up to allow me to "wear" them.

Post your nominations below, and feel free to describe how fabulous you look at the ceremony!

My nomination for best British female solo artist goes to : Maya Forstarter for grace and clarity under considerable pressure.

Another vote for the amazing Magdalen Berns.

I'd like to nominate Joanna Cherry from the SNP for her sterling work speaking out about gender issues.

Love this idea, I’m not sure I’m well placed to make any nominations as I’m not as well informed as others here but happily support the two nominations already mentioned!

I'd like to nominate Joan McAlpine for being one of the first MSPs with enough integrity to stand up for women's rights in the face of opposition and harassment. Flowers
