Lady Mary Poppins, 48 (might not be real name): It was really exciting. At first I lost my mates but that’s how things tend to go at these things. But the energy was beautiful.What inspiring feminists should young people be looking up to?
bell hooks. I actually met her once.What was she like?
I was in America at some talk back in the late 90s. I was sat next to her and I hadn’t realised she was the key note speaker, because she had used her given name instead of her pseudonym. I can account she gives a good firm hug and smelled like spiced apples.

Kay, 27: Oh definitely, I had her handing out pro-choice leaflets on Greenford High Street when she was six.
Nina, 56: I loved it, the earlier you learn the less likely you are going to get caught up in that sexist media message.Everyone knows the Spice Girls were all for Girl Power, what Spice Girl are you?
Oh god, the Spice Girls are awful.
Kay: Anyone who genuinely thinks that the Spice Girls were a bunch of girls truly in it for the feminist message is kidding themselves. I mean, they dressed a grown woman up as a pre-pubescent child.Oh, yeah totally. I was, uh, kidding.

Leanne, 16: We’re here to serve the food, we’ve got some nice lamb curry with vegetable rice for £5.Yum, I'm so glad it's not vegan. What do you think is the most feminist food?
Candy Floss.
Alisha, 16: [Turns to Leanne] The fuck?
Leanne: It’s delicate and no hassle.And delicious. Are you happy to be catering the event?
Alisha: Totally, anything that tries to help vulnerable women is a good thing.
Leanne: I wish I knew more about it in school so I could understand it all, you don’t get enough strong women talking about these issues.HEAR THAT GOVE.Overall, despite the back pain, I'd say this was a pretty successful foray into the world of feminist marches. Although it's clearly not a movement without its internal issues, there's definitely a strong voice weighing in on gender debate in the UK at the moment, and it's one we should all take time to support.
