Georgia makes one woman's day
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Georgia Dennhey is just one day old. She was born in Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, yesterday morning, just in time to be part of International Women's Day - a celebration of women and the meaning of womanhood, writes Kate Watson-Smyth.
As Georgia begins her first full day, millions of women are reminding themselves of their strength and remembering what they have achieved since the dark days before suffrage, equality, and much better maternal health care.
Chairman Mao said that women hold up half the sky, and many say they keep the world turning as well. Today is a festival where they will pledge to continue fighting for themselves and their children so that one day Georgia will be able to take her place in the world as an equal member of society.
