role models
PinkStinks aims to counteract the slurry of media obsession on women who are ‘famous’, ‘thin’ ‘rich’ or ‘married to famous men’, by celebrating those women that we see as inspirational, important, ground-breaking and motivating. On these pages we’ll point you in the direction of some of those women … some from history, some just starting out, from all walks of life. It’s amazing how great they are, and when they’re brought together in a list like this there’s a real power to them, that can only serve as an uplifting inspiration.
We’ll be adding to these pages constantly, so please do send us your links, to the women that inspire you and should inspire others.
Our sister site for kids, www.cooltobe.me, currently in development, will tell the stories of some of these women, using all that the internet has to offer, and exciting story telling techniques. We really believe that by presenting girls (and boys) with images of women … all shapes, sizes, colours and kinds, doing all sorts of amazing things … we can go some way to improving their self-esteem and self worth, whereas the current mono-culture only destroys it, by celebrating that which most of us can never hope to achieve.
