“I’m the only woman on the news desk. Every day I’m writing about the way austerity disproportionately affects women, I’m covering stories on abuse, and equal pay. I follow Everyday Sexism on Twitter. I think Caitlin Moran has done a lot for women with cystitis. But you can’t control what’s in your heart and in my heart, I like lipstick. Cupcakes. Heathcliff.” – Kate in Samantha Ellis’s How To Date a Feminist
