In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Where are older women hiding? A challenge…

June 26, 2019 By Ellen

I know it’s a bit of a joke – hit your middle years and you become invisible. No cat calls, no unwanted attention, in fact, no attention at all one way or the other. It’s a superpower of sorts – we can become anything we want, from spies to leaders of industry. So far, so […]

June 17, 2018 By Ellen

What’s the point of feminism when so many men are shit?

January 9, 2018 By Ellen

I wrote this post three years ago. Has anything changed? It was magical. Sunlight made the mountain snow sparkle and the only sound was boots crunching. Boots crunching and people talking.     Three women were chatting – intelligent, successful women enjoying the stunning Scottish scenery, respite from the festive round and the chance to […]

Mental load: at last, a name for that thing

July 1, 2017 By Ellen

You should have asked.  It’s the title of a comic strip in the Guardian by French feminist artist Emma. It beautifully describes a thing I’ve been clumsily groping towards for years. When you have all of the stuff for everyone in the house in your head, most of the responsibility for getting things done and, […]
