The marching season in Northern Ireland had its climax this weekend
We're only too familiar with the bowler hatted Orange Men, marching to commemorate the victory of the protestant William of Orange over the Roman Catholic James II.
The Orange Order was founded in 1795 and remains the largest protestant organisation in Northern Ireland. A relatively small number, 2500 of around a hundred thousand members, are female.
Ruth Dudley Edwards, author of The Faithful Tribe and Olive Whitten, Grand Mistress of the Association of Loyal Orange Women of Ireland, join Jenni to discuss the role of women in the Orange Order.
