8th March

It's International Women's Day and this year's theme is #PledgeForParity. Which apparently means all the really useless world leaders came to share their thoughts about women. It's almost as if this had been something they learned from early childhood. So maybe better to internalise some awesome fictional women. And even better get inspired by six real ones (from human right activists to scientists). And think about those who changed the world.

I leave with today's google doodle film but if you want more there is a whole bunch of articles here.
