Let's hope this is the year Mumsnet women Sort Out The Bloody Mess.

[flowers]@ArabellaScott you have such stamina in these discussions. When I am lurking, I find such heart in seeing you there still standing and still with your reasoned responses, information, and sense. There are other posters that I feel this about too, but it is a huge thanks from me.

Thank you for this. Worthy winners, all.

May we also raise a glass to all the other nominees who have contributed so much over the year

That is a wonderful list. Diverse and impressive. FWR rocks !

@Waitwhat23

Brilliant list - thank you for doing this.

As a Scottish woman, I am particularly indebted to both Joanna Cherry and For Women Scotland for bringing a spark of hope to the situation here.

I agree. Congratulations to all the very worthy winners.

It's humbling to see all these great women in one place. I aspire to one day be like be them (while hopefully avoiding the shit they have endured).

I give my heartfelt thanks to all these wonderful women - the named and the anonymous - who have taught and inspired me over the last couple of years .
I feel more brave now , and I am beginning to recognise my power .
Onwards , upwards into 2022 .
