Secret Life?
Glad I Grew Up In the 80’s
I Am Not Answering That Question
The Women’s Room
Last year I happened to click on a programme about feminists on BBC iPlayer and it changed my life! I phoned every woman I knew with a wild sense of enthusiasm and urged them to watch it before it was removed from the website.
The documentary featured interviews with leading feminists from around the world, many of whom were now in their 70s. This was the first time I had heard of Marilyn French, author of The Women’s Room.
The book is semi-autobiographical
Women Who Run With The Wolves
One of my best friends gave me this wonderful book by Clarissa Pinkola- Estes and it is a book that I dip in an out of every year.
Self help would be an unjust description of Women Who Run With The Wolves but that’s where you’ll find it in the bookshops. The objective of the book is to reaffirm the trust relationship
Black Swan Naughty Swan
After much hype, critical acclaim and chat about the film’s darkness I finally got to the cinema to watch Black Swan. I am a fan of Natalie Portman not just for her acting ability but for her sense of style, beauty and eloquence too. I also think it’s great to see a successful movie with a female lead character. However, I felt quite a big yawn and a feeling of ‘here we go again’.
