Everywhere you look, Meryl Streep is there. Being nominated for a record number of Oscars. Playing a witch in the woods and then an opera singer on the big screen. Championing human rights and standing up for the marginalised. Streep is a formidable woman who is hard to ignore, and one of many formidable women around the world who are agitating for equality. This International Women’s Day, we take a look at Streep’s epic legacy; writer and author Clementine Ford writes about “the feminist reawakening we had to have”; and writer and Indigenous activist Celeste Liddle writes about making sure equality is truly inclusive.
