I can't believe this dates from 1999. Where did it go for the last five years?
Noone has mentioned the very fact that there has been a revolution happening all around us.
When my daughter leaves her University Lecturing job on a Friday and goes to the pub she and all her women friends think nothing of it.
Thirty years ago none of us (women)would have been doing that.
And men are home looking after the babies and getting dinner on for when Mum comes home from the pub.
One of the Folk Club presidents proudly showed me a line-up of women guests over two months of the year. A first I reckon. And just last month eight women put their names down for floor-spots at my local Folk-club. In twenty-five years of folk-clubbing I've never seen that happen so spontaneously before.
It is like women have crept up on the world and are out there learning to take it on.
This is Bloody Superlative.
