Laura Perrins: Miriam’s aggressive feminism does her no favours

Co-editor Laura Perrins has written for the Daily Mail with her take on Miriam Clegg’s strop about being married.

Well, I hate to say this, but Miriam Clegg might be a bit sensitive. The wife of our former Deputy Prime Minister has gone off the deep end on social media after being invited to an event to mark International Women’s Day — in her married name.

The lawyer, known professionally as Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, posted on Instagram the offending missive with its handwritten ‘Dear Mrs Clegg’, and added a withering caption bemoaning the ‘irony’ that the event was a celebration of ‘women’s success’.

It was clearly a mistake on the part of the organisers, but did she need to be so cross and make such a fuss?
