How to be a Powerful Woman - a series of Woman's Hour Power List films are launched in this live programme, presented by Jane Garvey, from the Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House.

Artist Tracey Emin, paralympian and Life Peer Tanni Grey Thompson, Liberty Director Shami Chakrabarti and MOBO's Kanya King are some of the powerlisters featured in the films. They share their experiences, advice and philosophy for a successful working life.

In the programme we'll take a look at some of the barriers women still face in the workplace. We'll examine how to raise girls' aspirations so they choose the careers they really want - not just jobs that will fit in with family responsibilities. We'll also look at the changes needed to enable more women to reach senior positions. And we'll discuss how women can keep their careers buoyant and fulfilling as they juggle work and home life.
