There are no bitches, only sophisticated bad girls. That’s what we learned at the Irish Examiner’s ‘Choose To Challenge’ live event for International Women’s Day.

Special guest, Vicky Phelan, encouraged women to embrace being seen as a bitch and lean into being strong women, a quality she said she shares with an iconic Irish woman.
