Stella McCartney says she’s been trying to explain the concept of feminism to her 5-year-old daughter, Bailey. “She really didn’t understand women had to throw themselves under horses to get the vote, and I hope she doesn’t ever have to understand it,” says the designer. McCartney says the expectations placed on her as a C.E.O., designer, wife, and mother can be intense. “Now we are expected to do everything, which probably isn’t human, and we are in danger of burning out if we try to do everything…I lose it sometimes. If I’ve had four hours’ sleep because I was at something late and up early with the kids, then I am not a particularly good mum and not a particularly good colleague at work.” [Telegraph]
