Growing up we all knew our mums were brilliant, but it’s not until you become a mum yourself that you fully realise just how deadly they are.
The mums of previous generations raised 20 kids single-handed while marching for the pill, screaming themselves hoarse when you ate their good lipstick and rocking shoulder pads like nobody’s business. And they did all this without the help of the Internet. Now that I’m a mum myself I have a new-found respect for my mum and mums in general. And frankly I’m in awe of the sheer ingenuity displayed by some of the absolute heroes on this list.
