Woman of the week - Anna Van Heeswijk
Anna Van Heeswijk, member of organisation Object - Women not sex objects, is our woman of the week. She has played a prominent part in the news this week following her involvement in the Leveson Inquiry, where she argued that the media was largely responsible for on-going negative attitudes of women in society today.

Woman of the week - Josie Long
Following Blue Monday this week (supposedly the most depressing day of the year) and in preparation for Blue Monday Mark 2 [the alternative date proposed for Blue Monday], we have chosen comedian Josie Long as our woman of the week to brighten you all up. This young woman has been a successful and prominent member of the stand-up business for over 10 years and has recently begun merging societal issues and comedy which has proven to be an innovative and light-hearted way of voicing her liberal, political agenda.
