this is the first topic that froom have chosen. we have started a discussion on froom talk about it.....
I want to add to the site but find that I can't publish it yet.
I want to add that Fawcett are asking us to vote for the UK's most inspiring woman until 21st November.
So - what do you think?
I would go for Germaine Greer, but although she lives and works in the UK, she is Australian.
I am inclined to choose Alison Lapper, for reasons which my earlier posts will make clear.
I am also thinking about the late Mo Mowlam.
But I am not sure about the whole idea of choosing one woman at all.... it smacks of competition and I am inspired by many women, not least my friends and family, blogger-friends included.

I agree about Mo Mowlam (and your other two), but, for me, it's Jeanette Winterson.
I think I would tend to choose a friend/relative rather than a 'famous' woman.
I think I am more inspired by people's lives and how they work for change in their own day-to-day way.
I do see what you mean though, the nomiations could put an element of competition on what's meant to be a celebration.
I'd choose my English teacher, Miss Scott. Opened my eyes to the horror of prejudice and the joy of the written word.
