Not one person realised the King was above the queen. When pointed out, nearly all had an ‘ooooh’ moment.

Jancis Robinson is a #wine critic & journalist writing for the @FT, as well as her own website jancisrobinson.com. Her writing career started in 1975 & over the years has led to a string of awards and recognition as one of the most influential wine critics in the world.
While I believe that we should celebrate women everyday, it’s always special to have one whole day dedicated to recognize their profound impact on our lives.
Before #InternationalWomensDay2020 ends, I’d like to pay my respects to 4 remarkable women. #SheInspiresUs Thread:

My sister Sarah Jane would have been 50 years old today.
I speak about her and tell her story in the talk I do about #DomesticAbuse but that doesn’t tell HER story.
Here’s a bit more about her and our family.

We were both adopted from Guernsey. Me in 1966/7 Sarah in 1970.
I’m told (by my birth mother - that’s another story) that Guernsey in the late 60s was more like the 1900s from a morals and development perspective. So being born ‘out of wedlock’ was especially problematic.

Consequently there were a lot of babies adopted off the Channel Islands to the mainland - due in some part to the transient nature of employment in the holiday and travel industries. (I was the result of a holiday romance and we found out that Sarah was also a teen-pregnancy).

And why do female academics publish less than their male peers?
Hint: they are held to higher standards

Let's fix this. Jordan doesn't get enough credit for its promotion of one particular female, #SbarroBomber and @FBIMostWanted terrorist #AhlamTamimi. Her TV career and pan-Arab celebrity are all thanks to @JordanGov. (All three of the American lives she ended were female too.)
.@INBreakthrough I am so happy that you are initiating a conversation with #IgnoreNoMore to make public spaces safer for women.
I too have a campaign #Cabs4Her
change.org/Cabs4Her which urges .@Uber_India to hire more female drivers.

I have been rigorously campaigning for this petition for the past year and half. The petition now has more than 1 lakh supporters who believe in this cause.
I wish .@Uber_India to respond to my petition and truly drive the change.

More women in the public spaces is without a doubt going to make other women feel safer to travel alone. A female cabbie is sure to allay every women passenger's fear.
Moreover, making the cab driving profession more accessible to women is a big boost towards women empowerment.
