back in the headlines, I just told a broadcast producer there is no excuse for ‘manels’ - all male discussions - on what is happening there when so many great women - Libyan & Libyanist - have been working on Libya for yrs. I forwarded a list, happy to share in DM.

I would be really interested in those on the list that can be followed here on Twitter. Always looking to diversify my Twitter reading habits, especially when it comes to still male-dominated issues like conflict.
