Should more famous women be depicted as statues?

Former newspaper editor Janet Street-Porter is backing a campaign to celebrate more women in the form of statues.

A survey found that of the 640 listed statues in the UK, only 15% are of women and most of those are statues of monarchs or mythological characters.

5 liveBreakfast asked Ms Street-Porter why more women should be depicted.
