Emmeline Pankhurst, the true riot grrl,
Kate Nash, her new album says it all.
Caitlin Moran, bringing feminism to the masses
Being a woman is a powerful thing. I adore the extent that
that has been celebrated today on International Women’s Day, it’s really got me
thinking about which women I am inspired by. I’m including photos of
celebrities like Caitlin Moran and Kate Nash, but I’m mostly inspired by those
women who do something to change something, even the smallest thing. I am most
inspired by bravery; it is still a tough sexist world to make an impact and
even small things like women being independent and having freedom inspires me.
I sometimes think the blogging world is dangerous to young women as it has
potential to make them feel like the shade of your blusher and the brand of
your handbag is what defines you; the mould that bloggers sometimes strive
to fit into, just to get more views than they would otherwise scares me. The
obsession with self-image on the internet is a damaging thing, sometimes we
need to turn off the screens, remember who we are and what we can do outside of
the wardrobe and make up bag.
