Women WhistleblowersThursday 3 October 2002
"A few good women" "the three women who shook the world". Just a couple of the headlines celebrating women who exposed corruption within their organisations in the last year.

The phenomenon is not just in the US but worldwide. Sherron Watkins has been praised for her role in the Enron scandal and Cynthia Cooper was the dogged executive who uncovered Worldcom's bogus accounting scheme.
Marta Andreason was suspended from her post at the European Commission earlier this year after she alleged its accounting system was open to fraud. She joins Jenni to discuss.
Dr Christina Hughes from Warwick University and Geetu Orme, author of Emotionally Intelligent Living join Jenni to explore whether women are acting as the new moral guardians.
