My guest on today’s episode of Period Story is Maya Oppenheim, the Women’s Correspondent at the Independent, which is the only role like this at a UK news outlet.  In this episode, Maya shares:  How she pitched and landed her role as the first Women’s Correspondent at a UK news outlet, where she writes stories from a women’s and gender angle The range of topics she covers in this role, including domestic abuse, abortion rights, childcare, poverty, periods, the criminal justice system The story she’s most proud of - ‘The Murky Online World of Andrew T*te and Pick Up Artists’ and the troubling, misogynistic content she uncovered in her investigation The trolling she receives online and the topics that tend to result in the most angry responsesThe inspiration for her first book, The Pocket Guide To The Patriarchy And of course, the story of her first period Maya says that the way that each person chooses to shine a light on injustice will be different, but it’s important, whatever it is that you want to do, to do something to try to make the world a better place.
