Susie Dent's article on all things related to mother

[raspberrywine]

I thought I would share this today to celebrate the word mother and mater.

I particularly like that matter has roots in mater and as Susie says "is the mother of all words, from which all things are made".

Hi OP which magazine is this from please?

Thank you. I love this. Happy Mothers Day.

Thank you for sharing.

It make me very sad to feel genuine relief when I see something like this that publicly recognises women and girls.

It shouldn't have to be a brave thing, should it 😞

Missing the point, but why have they made her stand on one leg for the photo?

It's a dynamic yet relaxed and informal pose? She identifies as a flamingo?

Maybe there’s a shortage of chairs. If I remember rightly, there’s a very serious twitter campaign to get transwomen chairs, as they are often seen having to resort to a similar pose.
