Great to see such an inspiring group of people. And good to see the that the Guardian have openly represented the truth of public opinion - I always like it when they remember their mission in life and are creeping back to being an ethical news source.

Wonderful Wonderful. A great list of suggestions I think.

I am SO pleased, especially with all the Harry Potter media atm which I gather is sans JKR....the flipping person who created it all and made them rich and famous.

Oooh, you can tell they really really really didn’t want to include her but knew it would blow up on Twitter if they didn’t. Their snarky, look at all these worthy people nominated and “in a sign of debate on gender issues” that witch JKR got mentioned too.

Splendid. Reflects the majority views on reality and female rights.

She must have had a sizeable number of votes for them to include her, and they way it was highlighted in the opening paragraph was good I thought.

I also thought the other people on the list were brilliant, just goes to show the general public are at odds with the media.

Absolutely fantastic!! Sadly not the Michelle who's nomination they used!

Excellent, and congratulations Michelle of Wiltshire for having your reason for nomination published - you summed it up wonderfully!

Joanne should have won, she's done more for women this year than anyone else by far.
