Board game company Hasbro has released a new feminist version of family favourite "monopoly". "Ms. Monopoly" will celebrate women empowerment, the company says. A new female mascot will be featured on the box and women will receive £240 for passing GO while men will receive the usual £200. The company said in a statement: "It's a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men." So do you think your family might fall out over Ms Monopoly this Christmas? Do you think this is a good way to teach children about the gender pay gap? Stephen got the views of journalists Angela Epstein and Emma Woolf.
