		<description><![CDATA[All this talk in the media about taking away child benefit paid to &#8216;higher&#8217; income families (those earning £30K or more is often suggested) has made me remember Eleanor Rathbone, and wonder what she would have thought of the proposal.  Rathbone (1872-1946) spent much of her life working to make life fairer and better for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m looking forward to the BBC&#8217;s film The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister, to be broadcast on BBC  Two next Monday (31 May). Lister&#8217;s diaries, when they were decoded in the mid 1980s, caused a mini sensation among historians. They opened up the private world of an early 19C woman, a business woman and landowner, who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Royal Society has just announced its new Fellows for 2010. Out of 44, there are 5 women; out of 8 foreign Fellowships, there is one woman. This means that women comprise around 5% of the Fellowship of this elite scientific academy.
The first two women Fellows (Marjory Stevenson and Kathleen Lonsdale) were elected in 1945. [...]]]></description>

HerStoria carried an article on this in our Summer issue out at the end of May/beginning of June. I sent copies of HerStoria with this article to Woman&#8217;s Hour as soon as it came [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the start of Wimbledon and already the women are being undermined. Michael Stich, BBC commentator and former champion, is quoted as saying that women tennis players are there partly just to look good, adding that their role is as much about &#8217;selling sex&#8217; as it is about playing tennis. On top of this, women [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here we go again &#8211; David Starkey attracts lots of publicity for his new TV programme on Channel 4 by attacking anyone (but mainly women) who are able to see further than his myopic, narrow idea of history. For him &#8216;proper history of Europe before the last five minutes&#8230;is a history of white males&#8217; and today&#8217;s history [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Just your luck to launch a new magazine in the middle of the biggest economic crisis in 100 years !&#8217;  This is a remark  made to me quite often (mostly in jest! ). Despite this, as ever with women&#8217;s business initiatives, at HerStoria optimism and hard work  are our touchstones. Obviously we need HerStoria to be financially secure, but our aim is [...]]]></description>
