Like they say get involved. To nominate just click the link.

Of course if anyone else comes to mind choose them too but they are trying it with Rowling.

And the question is
'Which woman or non-binary person would you like to nominate'Hmm

I'd like to nominate Janice Turner for both Victoria and Peckham...

DianasLasso · 02/08/2020 19:33

Someone in the comments has already said "JK Rowling for King's Cross, Martina Navratilova for Wimbledon" Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 02/08/2020 19:36

Yes to Martina - it looks like we can do multiple entries

Wandawomble · 02/08/2020 19:43

Find it difficult to look at Emma Watson now after what’s she’s done to JK Rowling. What an unprincipled snake. If it’s anyone other than JK Rowling for Kings Cross it will be an outrage.

lady69 · 02/08/2020 19:45

Thank you for the reminder. DONE.

Wandawomble · 02/08/2020 19:46

I don’t have twitter but could someone share this with The Baroness to share?

Ballyhopper · 02/08/2020 19:46

I've just filled it in, thank you for this link. JKR is a no-brainer for Kings X , but my money's on Emma Watson, sadly.

EachandEveryone · 02/08/2020 19:54

Ive nominated. I dont think many will Not juding by those twitter comments

Jeeeez · 02/08/2020 19:58

I don't think they'd dare do that.

I also nominated Doris Lessing ❤ and Virginia Wolfe

SusanKennedyshouldLTB · 02/08/2020 20:02

What are we saying for martina?

Gurufloof · 02/08/2020 20:10

What are we saying for martina

Ah Wimbledon, it's very apt.

The trouble with the tube map is there are some places which you might want to use for different women - Westminster for example.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/08/2020 20:25

Perhaps we could nominate the Baroness for Barons Court?

KittiesInsane · 02/08/2020 21:28

That’s a lovely project. I’ve added my support for JK Rowling for KX, Rosalind Franklin for Willesden and Virginia Wade for Wimbledon

ErrolTheDragon · 02/08/2020 21:34

I was thinking Rosalind franklin ought to have a station but I didn't know which. Why willisden?

I want one for the even better crystallographer, Dorothy Hodgkin, but there isn't an obvious choice as she wasn't a Londoner - the best I can come up with is Oxford Circus.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/08/2020 21:36

Can Mary Anning have south ken for the natural history museum perhaps?

nepeta · 02/08/2020 23:01

Just nominate Winston Churchill or some other man over and over again. The question allows one to choose a nonbinary person or a transwoman, dead or alive, so we can trans the dead. Transgender writers already do that for what used to be regarded as historically important female role models.

When the fact is ignored that women were shunted aside because of their biology, not because of how they identified, the whole edifice of feminism collapses miserably.

DidoLamenting · 02/08/2020 23:28

Done for JK and King's Cross.

Will also suggest Muriel Spark for Peckham Rye. I assume they are allowing overground stations-it's on the tube map

AvocadoBathroom · 03/08/2020 03:56

JK for King Cross,
Boadicea for Westminster
Vivienne Westwood South Kensington

sultanasofa · 03/08/2020 05:38

Done, thanks for bringing it to my attention

CallarMorvern · 03/08/2020 05:50

Done for JK.

CallarMorvern · 03/08/2020 05:57

So much love for Emma Watson on that Twitter feed, which makes me feel a bit sick, I suspect she'll be the choice.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 03/08/2020 07:20

Done.

There are some absolute weirdos in the replies.
