Michaela DePrince; Gender Pay Gap

Duration: 58 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Available for over a year

Michaela DePrince talks about being orphaned in Sierra Leone and adopted by American parents and how her dream to become a dancer was inspired by a picture in a magazine.

We hear from the Labour MP who introduced a bill in December calling for big companies to reveal their gender pay gap. Whilst the majority of MPs backed the proposed legislation, seven Conservative MPs didn't. We hear from Labour's Sarah Champion who proposed the bill and Adam Afriyie who voted against it.

What is the future of women's magazines in a digital world? The Tate Galleries in London, Liverpool, and St Ives have unveiled an unprecedented line up of female artists for 2015 - we discuss the highlights.
We hear from a listener calling for a Royal Commission on murder to take place after her friend was killed by her estranged husband.

Four women who lead Royal Colleges talk about medicine as a profession for women and whether barriers to leadership roles are finally breaking down. And we ask whether adult children still living at home should pay rent?
