Maya Oppenheim: Find A Way To Shine A Light On Injustice

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 responses
  • The 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.


Thank you, Maya!
