It was Ladies’ Day at the RAC yesterday, so I went with my friends and did a water aerobics class.

It was Ladies’ Day at the RAC yesterday, so I went with my friends and did a water aerobics class. When I first started going to the RAC, ladies could only go as ‘the daughter of’ or ‘the wife of’. That all changed when some smart legally trained ‘daughter of’ brought a case against the club for sex discrimination. That’s what happens when you educate your daughters!

Here’s a couple of questions for Spectator readers: would you rather your daughter brought home a first-class degree or a prince? Would you rather she was praised for being clever or being pretty? It’s still up for debate in Britain today as to which sort of a girl is more successful.
