Dr Sarah Wollaston MP joins Jenni to talk about whether the Conservatives are doing enough to increase the number of women candidates selected to run at the next election.

Female performers are hugely visible in the music industry - but what of those behind the scenes? We look at the work of women in business and technical roles.

Turkey is one of the world's fastest growing economies. However, with just one in four women looking for work, economic participation is the lowest of all the MINT countries. Elif Shafak and Alev Scott join us to discuss life for women in Turkey today.

And we delve into the Woman's Hour archive to hear how the accents of our guests and presenters have changed.
