Today is International Women's Day; I am thinking today about my Mum.

Her feminism was such a huge part of who she was, and she never stopped campaigning for equality and justice for women and girls ❤️❤️❤️

Incredibly sad news that we have lost our wonderful Guardian colleague Julie Reid, who was only 56. She was a great production editor, fiercely principled, really funny and just bloody lovely. This, by Julie, on being brought up by blind parents is fab
