Ooh ... I can think of quite a lot more ...

ga that's lovely, she sounds a truly wonderful and inspirational woman.

In some ways I must admit to admiring Melania Trump!

She seems to mainly conduct herself with quiet dignity whilst remaining married to that dreadful narcissistic, self confessed sex pest, attention span of a goldfish excuse for a man.

My mother-in-law.

She's maintained a successful career in music for more than sixty years, whilst raising both her biological and foster children. She was instrumental in setting up one of the first support groups for foster carers and also for carers of people with mental health problems. She supported her husband when, in his fifties, he gave up his career to work on behalf of carers full time.

She is warm, loving, caring, thoughtful, compassionate and an inspiration to me and to many others. I have been blessed to have her in my life.

Julie Bindel. Campaigns against prostitution and violence against women. She is brave.
