www.womanthismonth.com June 2019 6 I love, love, love our cover star this month. She's kinda cool, don't you think? OK, so she's a robot but, well, our main feature is Women in Technology so, it makes perfect sense, no? And, I must say, I'm absolutely delighted to be sharing these stories. It never ceases to amaze me how many incredible, inspiring women there are on this little island and this lot are some of the funkiest yet. Not only are they making an emphatic mark in what is often seen as a man's world, but many of them are using technology to help others while forging their own businesses. I have to admit, as one who is frequently frozen in despair (or outright, destructive fury) as some gadget or other (usually my laptop) refuses to do what I want, I am somewhat in awe of these ladies. They've even got me considering taking a tech course in the hope of holding my own against the machines. Elsewhere this month, Fernanda is thinking holidays and she's come up with the perfect capsule wardrobes for travelling either north or south. Since I have a rather important wedding to attend in a couple of months, I was excited to see her hats page too. I love the superlarge concoctions but I'm not sure I would get one on my head which is, unfortunately, also rather large. Do you have a specific body part that's really hard to shop for? If the answer's yes, I'd be interested to hear how you've coped. For now, I'm resigned to wearing fascinators for the rest of my life, or at least until milliners realise we don't all have tiny, neat heads - or hands or feet for that matter! If you're not planning a holiday, this month's Homes section gives an update on a classical coastal theme, with lovely colours of sea blue and tawny sandy hues. I know we have the sea all around us here but I honestly never get tired of these tones and I'm always happy to see the latest twist on seaside style. As usual, we've got our regular round-ups of news from the world's of fashion and beauty and wise words from our columnists Pria, Ouiam and Lahan. So, happy reading and I really hope you enjoy the issue as much as I've enjoyed putting it together. June 2019, Issue 196 On the cover: Women in Tech EDITOR’S NOTE The only women's magazine distributed with the GDN Liz O’Reilly Editorial Director Philipp Plein’s stuff often has a slightly bonkers edge and, on that level, this overshirt/jacket certainly delivers. It’s reminiscent of glam rock at its best. If you can’t see animals in the wild, then on your finger, in the shape of this gorgeous Doe ring from Boucheron, has to be the next best thing, right? chairman & publisher GEORGE F MIDDLETON editorial director LIZ O'REILLY contributors BEHNAZ SANJANA FERNANDA LANGHAMMER OUIAM CHARKANI EL HASSANI LAHAN SPERINCK PRIA MASSON TANWAR layout & graphics HATEM MONEM media coordinator SARAH ANSARI media manager FARHEEN AHMED print production manager SABU SEBASTIAN photographers RANJITH MOHAN SUBEESH KUMAR NS photography editor MUNA YOUSEF printing press DAR AKHBAR AL KHALEEJ W.L.L., BAHRAIN --------------------- DIGITAL & CONTENT MARKETING TEAM Digital Strategy Director LINI REGUNATH MADHAVAN Art & Animation Director HATEM MONEM Contents copyrighted 2019© Reproduction in whole or in part by any means without the express written consent of the publisher is prohibited.
