24.března
Got a niggling beauty question? Our expert is on hand. This week, Alice is concerned that her sweet tooth will cause skincare problems One of the joys of being a beauty journalist is the unsolicited advice. A skin expert once glanced at my face and said, “You eat loads of sugar, don’t you?” To be fair, I was fuelled entirely on caffeine and cookies at the time, but the fact that it was obvious fr…

22.března
Readers respond to Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff’s article about her reservations about embarking on parenthood Re Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff’s article ( I know I want at least one baby. But the more I learn about motherhood, the more terrifying it seems, 12 March ), having survived the trauma of childbirth and managed to scrape enough to pay for childcare and a living, there is another aspect to consider: the immense negative impact motherhood would have on your career.

19.března
Readers reflect on the close friends who have supported and cared for them through thick and thin We were heartened to read of Rhaina Cohen’s new book on close platonic friendships, The Other Significant Others ( ‘She’s my sacred other’: is friendship, not romance, the key to a happy and fulfilled life?, 13 March ), as it deals with many of the issues that we raised in our article published in th…

Is Poor Things a feminist film? Is Barbie? These have become meaningless questions | Beatrice Loayza

13.března
The label of ‘feminist’ is beginning to feel more like a subcategory on Netflix than a meaningful description of art Let’s play a game. Of all the best picture nominees from this year’s Oscars , which film is the most feminist? Is it Barbie, a family-friendly paean to our childhood’s plastic It Girl? Poor Things, a racy riff on Frankenstein that charts one woman’s process of self-emancipation? Or…

Even supposedly ‘positive’ birth stories make my heart sink. Am I just going to have to make a leap of faith? It’s a conspiracy, I’m sure of it. Since the pandemic in 2020, the year I moved out of the category of young adulthood, my Instagram “for you” page has been filled with images and videos of the cutest babies you could ever hope to see. Round-cheeked and smiley, they drool and babble and f…

11.března

And she was not amused There is usually a bit of space between International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day, which means we don’t have to run straight from the swill of empowerment platitudes into the tooth-aching blancmange of filial adoration. I try to avoid the first and keep the second as an opportunity to guilt-trip my children…

This week, Reshmi wants to know how she should treat her dark circles I was once “corrected” at a beauty counter by a makeup artist, who pointed out how dark my circles were.

8.března
On International Women’s Day Kate Mosse, co-founder of the Women’s prize for fiction and bestselling author of Labyrinth, heralds a new honour Gloria Steinem said: “The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organisation but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” The key then, for all of us trying to make the world a better plac…
