BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Elif Shafak on Turkey; Music industry; Tory candidate selections; Accents over the years

Jenni Murray talks to Elif Shafak about the lives of women in the MINT country, Turkey.

Jenni Murray hears about the women working behind the scenes in the music industry. And what progress are the Tories making to find women candidates to field at the next election?

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.

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Rebecca Myatt
Editor: Ruth Watts.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
