Young women are often told they should strive to be like Jessica Ennis, Karren Brady, or Malala, but increasingly they are identifying with more ‘normal’, less aspirational women. In a survey of female 18 to 25 year olds, the woman with the most admired personality was reality TV star Charlotte Crosby, and there is a trend for following TV programmes like Lena Dunham’s Girls, about young women who lack direction, live for the moment, and are comfortably open about their failures and inadequacies. Should we be worried? JaneÌýtalked to journalist Holly Baxter and Rachel de Souza, Chief Executive of the Inspiration Trust.

Three years on from the Arab Spring, a poll recently conducted by the Thomson Reuters Foundation has concluded that Egypt is officially the worst country for women’s rights in the Arab League - even taking into account Syria. On Sunday, a 50 member committee approved a new draft constitution for Egypt. Today it will be ratified by the interim president, who is expected to announce a date for it to be put to a referendum early next year. So how much difference is this new constitution likely to make to women in Egypt? US-Egyptian journalist, Mona Eltahawy, speaking at today’s in London, joined Jane to give an insight into what her fellow countrywomen are going through.Ìý

The voice of British universities, Universities UK, recently issued guidance to help universities manage controversial external speaker events on campus. When addressing the question of gender segregation at talks, the guidance suggests it’s legal for universities to allow separation by gender, as long as the two groups of men and women sit side by side, and not one in front of the other. The publication was met with outrage. So is gender segregation at university talks a form of ‘gender apartheid’? Or could the seating arrangement actually encourage some women to engage in university life? Sara Khan is director of Inspire, a counter-extremism and women's rights organisation. Reyhana Patel is a journalist and researcher specialising in issues surrounding Muslim communities.

Jeff Kinney is the author of , which has sold 115 million books worldwide. He has been an advisor on children and reading to the last three US Presidents and he was asked to give a speech to the most recent Davos meeting. He is widely credited with getting ‘reluctant readers’ to read…..although he says that when people say ‘reluctant readers’ they really mean boys. There is no doubt that boys love Kinney’s Greg Heffley character - a hapless, wimpy, self-obsessed 12 year old. On Friday Jenni asked him why.Ìý

The 2012 Boys’ Reading Commission report, set up by the All-Party Parliamentary Literacy Group and the National Literacy Trust, found that boys were falling behind in reading.Ìý Why?Ìý Because many felt it was an activity ‘for girls’. ÌýThe report warned that this ‘gender gap’ in reading was widening. ÌýIt found that by the time they start school, many boys are already lagging behind in literacy - Ìýand by the time they reach GCSE level they are falling behind girls in English by 14%. To discuss some of the reasons for this and how we can encourage boys to enjoy reading JenniÌýwas joined by Jeff Kinney and Abigail Moss, Deputy Director of the National Literacy Trust.
