The FWR Magdelen Berns memorial awards for Feminism 2019 *Title edited at OP's request*

[TinselAngel]

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.

Lifetime achievement award to Magdalen Berns, please.

Imagine how great the montage would be

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.

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!

Make that 3!

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.

Another vote for Magdalen Berns!

I'd like to nominate Stephanie Davies-Arai for services to education.

Rowantrees.

Seconding Maya, Magdalen , Joan, Joanna, Stephanie.

Sonia Poulton and Julie Bindel for being fearless journalists.

Harriet Wistrich for helping to keep John Worboys locked up.

Top bloke awards to Harry Miller and Johnny Best.

Oh how I miss R0wantrees.

Can we have an award for MNers we have loved and lost to permanent bans?

And also supporting lifetime achievement award for Magdalen. What a one-off she was

Best Newcomer - Emily Maitlis

Janice Turner. James Kirkup for another top bloke. I’m also nominating Tinsel herself, not just for what you say, but how. There should be a list of nominees for a dignified mumsnettter award, Datun, Langcleg, floralbunting, and if we include the absent, rowantrees & the berwilderness. I know I’ve missed lots but it’s not my list! Add away.

Kath Murray, Lucy Hunter Blackburn and Lisa Mackenzie for policy ready work.

Women and Girls in Scotland for centring the impact of social class in feminism.

Sharron Davies and Martina for their dignity in campaigning for womens sports.

Spero for Outstanding Courtroom Tweeting

Honourable mention in Best Newcomer Category - Jane Garvey

I should have called them the Magdalen Berns awards really.

You Tubing award candidate, Lisa Muggeridge

Yes yes yes to all of those; plus Barracker should get at least an honourable mention for her sterling work on FWR plus her 'prounouns are rohypnol' blog.

Fair Play for Women team?

Rattlecans for righteous tweeting!

And GoinglikeElsie.

TalkingintheDark, Michelleoftheresistance and JanesKettle for the "ability to say the exact thing I wanted to but more eloquently than I ever could" award.

The Thighs for the Most Eccentric British Neighbour Award.
