It’s all in the name

TWO months after the birth of her twins, Amal Clooney, nee Alamuddin, is back at work and it’s announced she’s to be the keynote speaker at a highprofile annual event for women in San Francisco’s Silicon Valley next year.

She will follow in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton, nee rodham. Organisers describe Amal as ‘a woman of strength, courage and compassion’.

Commendable as both women are, neither would have got an invitation to be in the audience, let alone on the stage, if it weren’t for the fact they are married to very rich, very famous men, whose names they have taken.

So much for feminism, ladies.
