Jane Garvey discusses whether misogyny is on the rise with Kirsty Wark.

Jane Garvey discusses whether misogyny is on the rise with Kirsty Wark and talks to game-changer Nazneen Rahman about her pioneering work in clinical genetics.

Jane Garvey talks to Kirsty Wark about her new documentary which looks at whether offensive sexism and misogyny is on the rise.

Professor Nazneen Rahman is number three game-changer on the Woman's Hour Power List 2014 and a pioneer in the field of clinical genetics. We hear about the potential benefits of testing for women with breast and ovarian cancers.

70 MPs and peers have attended classes in mindfulness - so what could this, relatively new, development in the field of mental health have to offer the rest of us?

And in August 2006 the image of schoolgirl Molly Campbell dominated the media. She disappeared from the Outer Hebrides where she lived with her mother, spending the next few years in Pakistan with her father and siblings. Jane talks to Molly and her mother about a new play which focuses on their untold story.

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