International Women's Day


Not a painting to be hung on your wall but a chest of drawers for sale at a Foire in Monaco last October. However, the reason for showing this photo is not to influence your interior decor (as if I would dare...) but to use the image of a woman to celebrate the centenary of International Women's Day.

You can see a young girl running towards her future on Menton Daily Photo today.

Here's to all my women friends - I couldn't exist without you...

    Are Women Suffering the Greatest Injustice of the Twentieth Century?

    In this exclusive interview we talk to Sheryl WuDunn, Pulitzer Prize winning co-author of " Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide". We discuss the reasons for the subversion of women's rights, and look at issues ranging from education, to global conflict, economics, health and policy. We discuss differences in women's challenges between the developed and developing world, and look at possible solutions for this malignancy in our societal structure.
