Keen on truth

Adult. Human. Female. It was Kellie-Jay Keen, founder of Standing for Women and Let Women Speak, who transformed this dictionary definition into the war cry of the modern women's movement. Every politician now asked, "What is a woman?" is grappling with the question Keen forced into public life. She is too provocative for lists of "inspirational women" and too divisive for the panels of feminist conferences. Love her or loathe her, she is impossible to ignore and harder still not to admire.
