Many of us (at least in the older years) will probably enjoy a nice cup of coffee at some point during the day, whether that is an iced late, americano, cappuccino or some incredibly complicated order with syrup and cream that ends up looking pink. But what exactly makes the perfect coffee (using science of course)?
The alarm beeps. You check the date. It’s International Women’s Day. But wait! You’ve realised your fatal mistake – you’ve forgotten to buy pads for #madforpadz (or maybe you’ve been stockpiling for weeks, waiting for your time to shine). Well, feel free to peruse the list below, and find out who you really are…

This week, the week of International Women’s Day, the Women of Wimbledon team have been sending out mini bulletins each morning – each about an inspiring modern feminist we think people should know about, written by a different member of our feminism society. Here are all five collated.

The time is 2:47am and I am at my desk overlooking what is a barren and empty sight before me. A singular shawl is strewn across my bed. It was my mothers from the eighties – rather fashionable in those days, but not so much now. There is a bonsai tree by my windowsill which has not been watered in months, and has wilted, arid leaves. Like most nights, the familiar hum of crickets slips through the crannies in my window – normally this would bother me, but tonight it doesn’t for some reason. My fathers’ old desk lamp is propped up on a stack of comic books – its fitful flickering is faintly lighting up the room. In the corner of my room are two suitcases which hold the contents of most of my life’s belongings.
