Guardian asking for women who have inspired us for IWD

[JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown]

I'm sure plenty of us will have good suggestions.

They do request name and photo, but identifying details aren't all mandatory so it should be fairly simple to keep anonymous if you prefer to.

I'm not sure when it'll close, but it's probably imminent since IWD is on Monday.

Loads of us should do this. I think I'll go with Keira, be interesting to see the results and if anyone we admire gets a mention.

Done!

In the Guardian? I can make a prediction.
I won't say what it is, but I'll tell you later if I was right.

I know, I just want to piss them off. Love the thought of them getting loads of nominations for women they cant even bring themselves to mention.

J K or Hibo. Decisions decisions.

@TheBuffster

J K or Hibo. Decisions decisions.

Both. And Suzanne Moore.

Or how about Johann Lamont getting her amendment through to safeguard the rights of female rape victims to be examined by a woman. "For the word gender substitute sex".

Magdalen!

I have nominated JKRowling and told them exactly why .

And Suzanne Moore.

Definitely a good idea.

Magdalen berns surely
But no doubt the focus will be on specific groups

Yes, Suzanne Moore would definitely send a message.

I second that... flipping Guardian.

Done, but not expecting it to be published

Wow! Just got a message saying it has been accepted!

Apparently, you can submit more than one candidate!

Hibo

So inspiring

I suspect that Suzanne Moore would get filtered out but I would vote for Hadley Freeman, if I could

Keira Bell for me.

Stephanie Davies Arai. I find her deeply inspiring in so many ways. She has helped to change the world and has endured so much abuse in return. She is a brave and brilliant woman.
The Guardian don’t deserve her though.

Thanks for this.

Just nominated jk. Told them why:

'A fine lady who puts her money where her mouth is, with incredible energy for charity work and engaging with her young fans on Twitter, whilst wading through the abuse.

There was no need for her to stick her neck out for us with her brave essay, but she realised she was about the only woman who could do so without being 'cancelled'.

Courage calls to courage. She has inspired me to be braver and speak up too. '

Keira Bell. For courage.

Not wanting to out Datun, but wish I could nominate Datun!

I didn't know about this campaign by Johann Lamont. Can you link to a helpful article please? This is something I'd like to progress in my area. Thank you.
