About this deal

Once, I interviewed the amazing Stella Rimington – Stella Rimington who went on to become first female DG of MI5. When she started work in the 60s, women got two-thirds of men’s pay; yet: ‘You didn’t really feel agitated because that was how it was’. For Lily – whose voice was clearly heard in an era when so many other women’s voices were silenced – was against women having the vote. Megan Fox is SLAMMED for violating SAG-AFTRA's Halloween costume rules after she dressed up as a Kill Bill character amid ongoing actors strike Heidi Klum tantalisingly reveals just PART of her Halloween look after weeks of speculation... so what WILL the queen of the costumes dress as?

When you take mythological women away from statues, you’re pretty much left with Queen Victoria and Boudica. And it shouldn’t be… but the fuss when it’s suggested there might be a few more statues of women! It’s a very odd thing. When Caroline Criado-Perez suggested it would be good to have a woman on a banknote – and Jane Austen is hardly at the vanguard of the feminist revolution – she lived with death threats for several years. S Club admit they struggle to speak about late bandmatePaul Cattermole as they embark on reunion tour One has to guard against eulogising any aspect of Crusader history – they were bloody religious wars of conquest and devastation – but, Melisende is a woman I admire. The eldest of the four daughters of Baldwin II, she was raised to succeed her father and her name appeared alongside his on official documents and in diplomatic correspondence. When he died, her husband attempted to sideline her, but Melisende refused to yield. Instead, she went to war to secure her rights and, extraordinarily for these times, the clergy and nobility supported her. She ruled as queen from 1131 to 1153, and again as regent for her son when he was on campaign from 1154 until 1161. She endowed many convents and religious institutions and was a generous patron of the arts, yet, despite all this, she is barely a whisper in the history books and there is no major mausoleum or tomb dedicated to her. Khutulun (c. 1260 – c. 1306) But it was never presented as something serious, and my gentle father was never one for reminiscing. Besides, it was many years after Lily's daughter — my grandmother — died that I became a novelist too. Sophia Bush recalls TERRIFYING paranormal experience while living with Austin Nichols in 'creepy haunted apartment': 'We both started to scream!'

Swimming legend Michael Phelps and his wife Nicole Johnson announce they are expecting their FOURTH child So that, together, we can celebrate some of the extraordinary women who also built our world. My great-grandmother, Lily, was one of them.

Controversial Little Britain sketch where David Walliams says Asian character 'smells of soy sauce' is 'racist and outdated', research says So if – and I assume she does – Kate counts women such as Lorde as one of the Warrior Queens, then what’s this with the ‘Quiet Revolutionaries’? Matthew Perry was sober and had been very active in Alcoholics Anonymous program in the lead up to his death, source reveals

Travis Barker LEAKS name of the son he is expecting with wife Kourtney Kardashian... and reveals the due date too (it's sooner than you think) Sofia Vergara puts on a folksy chic look in double denim and sky-high platform heels as she heads to a meeting in Los Angeles
