During the 1990s a Chinese journalist Xinran presented a radio programme in China in which she invited women to talk about their lives.
The show was seen as groundbreaking for its unflinching portrayal of what it meant to be a woman in modern China.
Centuries of obedience to fathers, husbands and sons, followed by years of political turmoil had made women terrified of talking openly about their feelings.
Xinran joins Jenni to tell her how she became the first woman to hear their terrible stories.
