Which women have inspired you? Which women would you love to sit down and chat with?

My Mum and my wife are always inspiring. I'd love to have a chat with Michelle Obama and Kathy Burke among many others...they're just the first two that came to mind.
Edit - I just remembered Caitlin Moran...I'd love a chat with her too.

Did you catch Kathy Burke's Ch4 programme on growing old? I didn't but it's had good reviews.

Band Maid? In HowiMetDa’s post? It’s more likely than you think
Dolly Parton. In addition to what I'm sure would be a wealth of fascinating life experiences, I think she is one of the few who could be realistic about life, and yet still show me the way to stay optimistic about it all the same without the apathy.

Just off the top of my head, and listing a name I'm sure most here would recognize. And that would be even without realizing her own efforts to help make Buffy its own TV show. (Perhaps ironically, I'd ask the least about other celebrities. I think she'd be too classy to tell the truth about them anyway. 😛 )

I could do a whole list if I wanted, even if restricting it to women.
 
My grandmother, she has the most loving and caring energy. I hope I can relearn Spanish so I can hear all the stories about her life that she has to share. I would also really love to chat with Natasha Lyonne, I think we have a similar creative energy and I want to see what kinds of things we could think up together. Both my absolute role models! I love women, happy women day!

I almost listed my own, but I'd probably wax onto a super long post if I did.

@TriBel I haven't seen Kathy's doco yet but it's been recorded. She is a sweary national treasure...🤬
 
Coming from Manchester Emmeline Pankhurst was still a big presence in the city long after she died, and while she certainly wasn’t perfect you cant fail to be inspired by someone who always stood up for what she believed in and never took crap from anyone.

Kathleen Hepburn. Not only one of the greatest actresses, but she was incredibly independent, wouldn’t conform to what society expected of women and spoke out for unpoplular beliefs

Kim Deal - supercool, super talented, super fun and super nice. And she comes across as someone you can go on a night out with for a few beers and a good laugh

Are Band Maid a novelty band ??

Based on previous bands, I'd guess Band Maid is a novelty band, but still came into being primarily by the will and efforts of Miku Kobato rather than hired by a cynical corporate team (instead, they got sponsors), so seems a legite choice.
