For Edith Bowman, her mum is a true idol.

“Apart from being my mum and my mate, she survived breast cancer as well,” Bowman said on the red carpet at Stylist’s 2019 Remarkable Women Awards. “She is a working mum and a real inspiration for me. She fought for what she wanted to do. She’s amazing, she’s brilliant and she’s a bloody good laugh, too.”

Bowman continued: “She had me at 19, she was young. We’ve had this great friendship ever sine I was growing up. Well, I was a nightmare when I was a teenager, but I got over that.”

Let’s hear it for all the remarkable mums.
