I have spent much of February preparing for March and more specifically Thursday 8 March International Women’s Day (IWD). During that time I have attended small scale events at The Club at The Ivy, observed women on large conference stages and held private meetings with a number of senior women.

There is a common misconception amongst women that wearing black must mean we are scared of colours and patterns. That we shy away from them in a desperate bid to hide the flaws we dislike most about our bodies. Turns out though that couldn’t be further from the truth.

What a feminist is often confused with: a man hating, bitter woman whose only goal is to triumph over men in every way.
