Baroness Alison Wolf, professor of public sector management at King's College London, has argued that feminism today does little to serve the majority of women.

She told Today's Sarah Montague: "Campaigns which are supposedly going to benefit women generally ...actually really do nothing for the vast majority of women."

"Two obvious ones would be the campaign to get a minimum of 30% of women on the boards of big companies and also the obsession with all-female shortlists."

However, writer and broadcaster Bidisha said she didn't "recognise this vision of feminism as a whole".

She said: "What's so exciting about the women's movement now is that it's being fuelled by a groundswell of real grassroots protest."

"It's not about just women on boards ...it's outrage about things like rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, cuts to legal aid and public services."
