“The taboo of feminism is dropping from the faces of women around the world”
Perhaps, but I only wish it was happening quicker. I’ve encountered a lot of hostility and dismissal from women over the past couple of years when I’ve tried to discuss feminism. Most of them hear what I have to say and then respond with something like ‘oh, so you just want equality? Well you’ve already got it so be quiet’, then they walk away with their fingers in their ears. I seem to be encountering this reaction more and more, from both genders but especially from women, and it makes me really sad. Here’s hoping it really does continue to change 🙂
I’m a writer based in South Wales, with an unhealthy obsession with stationery and baking. I mainly blog for my own sanity, but I’m also working on a novel. Still.

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day. Anyone not know what that’s about (other than women around the world!!)?
International Women’s Day is a global, annual event which inspires change and empowers women. It covers everything from basic human rights (e.g. sex workers, access to education) to equality in finance (e.g. equal pay). The taboo of feminism is dropping from the faces of women around the world, and this is incredible to see. The Guardian says the campaign is ‘more than just a cover story‘, and having surfed around to learn more, I agree.
Feminist or not, every woman should be aware of his event, and in turn, the issues their gender faces around the world and in their own country. Women’s inequality and mistreatment is not just something that happens in lesser developed countries – it’s here in the UK too. The internet and the world is buzzing about this: take a look at my pick of the crop of blogs, links and events! Why we need International Womens’ Day My post from this time last year: Women Writers Who Inspire Me 5 Inspiring Quotes For Womens’ Career Progression Interesting BBC blog by a mother, new to raising a daughter Blog: Who Inspires You? The Ripple Effect: What’s good for women is good for the world! Check out the latest news for International Womens’ Day BBC’s 100 Women event – very inspiring women share their story and contribute to the event Still looking for more?Check out the Facebook page for the event and see what you can discover, and have a look to see if there are any events happening near to you this weekend.
