Lizzie Ostrom

If you were to go to my home and open a cupboard or drawer, you would probably find dozens of bottles of perfume waiting to fall out. As you might imagine, I’m a woman who, even now, have more fragrances than I could ever wear in a lifetime, keeps on buying them.

Five years ago, this hobby had nothing to do with my job. I was working in events PR promoting restaurants and hotels. Perfume was a thing on the side. I spent a lot of time thinking about it, but rather than defining it as a ‘thing’, it was more of a compulsion. It had been going on for years.

Iris Murdoch

Dame Jean Iris Murdoch

Irish-born British writer, university lecturer and prolific and highly professional novelist, Iris Murdoch dealt with everyday ethical or moral issues, sometimes in the light of myths. As a writer, she was a perfectionist who did not allow editors to change her text. Murdoch produced 26 novels in 40 years, the last written while she was suffering from Alzheimer disease.

Emily Nagoski

The official bio is:
"Emily Nagoski has a PhD in Health Behavior with a doctoral concentration in human sexuality from Indiana University (IU), and a master’s degree (also from IU) in Counseling, with a clinical internship at the Kinsey Institute Sexual Health Clinic. She has taught graduate and undergraduate classes in human sexuality, relationships and communication, stress management, and sex education."

It's a small goal in the grand scheme of things - I'm not trying to bring peace to the Middle East or repair the ozone layer - but it's a goal that I think truly does have the power to change lives and, ultimately, the world.
