What a week and what a result! Standing ovation to the people of Egypt who with a lot of heart, belief and resistance overthrew a dictator. I watched with bated breath the action from Egypt and marvelled at the photos of people wearing saucepans, milk crates and a broken door as helmuts. Courageously they dug up the cobblestones from the streets and went into battle against an army armed with guns and tanks. Incredible!

Yesterday in Paris the people of Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria celebrated along rue du renard. I was lucky enough to grab a couple of pictures on my iphone (hipstamatic of course) and share in their joy. 

Today I will join many thousands of Italian women all around the world who will protest againt Berlusconi. Wouldn't it be marvellous if we could have the same effect as the Egyptians and the Tunisiens?..
