In recent years women have been in the majority of trainee journalists, but they are still under-represented at the top of journalism.
One only has to look around the room at the Society of Editors conference to see that the vast majority of editors across the journalism industry are still men.
To find out why this is, and talk about what can be done about it, three leading female editors will be speaking at City University London on 16 November from 6pm.
They will be revealing how they got to the top in journalism and providing advice to ambitious female journalists about how they can do the same.
