I am so inspired. Three of my favourite famous women have been "damed" in the Honours. (Yes I just made that word up - if men can be knighted then women can be damed.)
Anyway, here they are, the irrepressible and most articulate in the defence of women's rights, Prof. Mary Beard, the unforgettable actor Emma Thompson and brave Kate Adie whose hardback I have telling of her journalistic missions to far-flung and often hostile countries.
Just my subjective personal preferences, they are three among many creative and humanitarian people, both male and female, who have been honoured.
