I've thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn't one. It's a perfectly good word. And it can't be changed.

Although I have lived in London, I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me, and it has been too.

I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.

Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
Annie Lennox
Image
One realizes after a long time that, actually, we are contradictory, all of us.
