June 2018 www.womanthismonth.com news 8 Letters Thank you for giving readers interesting people to read about. I am going to check out Mobeena Inam’s abaya collection, as I do believe that whatever a woman wears must be an extension of her personality. Although I’m not Muslim, I like donning this elegant garment. And what better time to flaunt my new pieces than Ramadan! Sue Ellen – Saar Hats off to Bahrain for having the first Women’s Power Sumit last month. The topics covered by eminent personalities were both interesting and relevant to modern and forward-thinking women. There was something for everyone – the arts, politics, technology and equality. May more such events take place where women can step out and speak up to inspire younger generations. Jahaan – Manama I loved reading about Fight Night 4 and the women who will be packing the punches (literally) in the ring. We lovely ladies have broken all barriers to do what makes us happy, as a result proving that its not just a man’s world. It’s also great to know that age is no hurdle for us women – we can never be too old or too young – to just do what we love. More power to us! Nisa – Juffair I realised my errors in trying (unsuccessfully) to get into shape and feel good. I have started following the tips given in the health topic covering weight loss, and I feel positive about my efforts now. I’m looking forward to the next part of the article to get closer to my long-term goals.

The former US president and first lady will develop ideas for potential shows including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and features. “One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience. That’s why Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix" www.theguardian.com # Trending What’s caught our eye in the news this month Going Green on The Red Carpet The lacy Armani Privé gown Cate Blanchett recently wore a to the opening gala of the Cannes Film Festival was the same dress she wore to the 2014 Golden Globes. The actress wasn’t just being thrifty. She recycled the dress as part of the Green Carpet Challenge, an initiative that “pairs glamour with ethics” and aims to make fashion more sustainable. Blanchett, who served as the Cannes jury president said: “From couture to T-shirts, landfills are filled with garments that have been unnecessarily discarded. Particularly in today’s climate, it seems willful and ridiculous that such garments are not cherished and reworn for a lifetime.” www.today.com Woman This Month’s fashion feature ‘We Mean Business’ attracted the most impressions.
