Fewer women write opinion pieces in the press than men. An organisation in the States is attempting to redress this gender imbalance with opinion-writing seminars for women from all backgrounds, not just journalism.

Jenni discusses these issues with Guardian columnist, Polly Toynbee, and Anne Spackman, Comment Editor at The Times.
