Just over half of all Instagram users are female. Among these millions of women who regularly post, some stand out a mile. The women behind these remarkable feeds take pains to put careful, responsible thought into the message they deliver. Here are the ones we rate most highly.
Allbright
@allbright
Founded by Debbie Wosskow OBE, founder of LoveHomeSwap and Anna Jones, former CEO of Hearst, The Allbright is a members club for smart-thinking women, with premises in Mayfair and LA. The membership boasts a thriving digital community with women from around the world, sharing opportunities to network, their experiences and ambitions. Feeling low? Check into this feed and you'll find inspiration aplenty.
MISTY COPELAND
@mistyonpointe
A prima ballerina with the American Ballet Theatre, Copeland eschews the emaciated aesthetic so often associated with the art of ballet. She’s strong, she’s beautiful and, most of all, she’s inspiring.
RECIPES FOR SELF LOVE
@recipesforselflove
Using cool illustrations and upbeat proclamations, Amsterdam-based artist Alison Rachel aims to bolster the female psyche with an unerringly positive vibe. It works. A pretty spin-off book comes out in April.
AMELIA FREER
@ameliafreer
Nutritional therapist to the stars and best-selling author Amelia Freer makes so much sense out of the madness that surrounds food today. Her vibrant feed has as many beautiful rural shots and pics of her dogs, daughter and flowers as it does of her health-giving recipes. Life-affirming in the extreme.
WOMEN WHO
@womenwho
Created by the writer Otegha Uwagba (whose bestselling Little Black Book: A Toolkit For Working Women found its way into many a Christmas stocking when it was published in 2017), this stylish feed celebrates women in and out of the workplace. Relevant and thought-provoking, there isn’t an avocado in sight.
