SCROLLING
• At 55, John Lewis CEO Sharon White has topped the 2023 Powerlist (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre), ahead of Idris Elba, Lenny Henry, Michaela Coehl, Stormzy and Marcus Rashford, amongst others. (She was previously the first woman and the first Black person to lead Ofcom.)
• Love this essay about why more female leaders (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) need to speak out about menopause. (And not just because it gives a very nice mention to The Shift podcast with Nicola Sturgeon (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre).)
• An interesting piece by Monica Lewinsky on why the US midterm elections (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) matter.
• At what point in history did men decide women weren't funny (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)?!
• Gravestone recipes (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) are a thing and it's really touching.
• You're never too old for a mini skirt (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre). If you needed telling.
