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.

I think the problem with these awards is they all deserve to win. Maybe A Woman's Place conference in Feb could have a Roll of Honour on display. (Rapidly embroidered by Leeds Spinners obviously)

Love the Roll of Honour idea!

Also what about one of those live performance drawing graphic art/map sessions where a very talented woman with a marker pen collates suggestions by drawing them out on a massive whiteboard- the interactivity could be a lot of fun Grin

What a fabulous idea, Tinsel!

If she hasn't been mentioned yet - I'd like to nominate BowlofBabelfish for the Scientific Smackdown award!

Zuby for breaking the women's deadlift record?

I hope someone has nominated the Lib Dems for including the GRA in their manifesto and therefore enabling us all to speak freely about this in RL (all the time and to anyone who will listen Grin).

We could award proper medals to women who missed out due to men competing against them:

for example Feagaiga Stowers could have a gold medal:

I feel ridiculous saying this... but I feel that Piers Morgan has been brilliant on this issue! Blush

Anne Ruzlo and Venice Allen for radacalising Mumsnet
