Jenni Murray presents the female perspective, discussing groping in public places.

Jenni Murray presents the female perspective, discussing groping in public places, Egypt's lost queens and a new translation of Anna Karenina.

Groping in public places. After a woman was punched in the face by a man she challenged for sexually assaulting her, Everyday Sexism's Laura Bates and columnist Rosamund Urwin discuss the problem of groping. And as celebrities are held at fault for intimate photos published online, is there a problem of victim-blaming when it comes to women's bodies?

Many female school leavers are left unemployed after following careers advice and struggling to get into low paid, oversubscribed jobs like hairdressing. Carole Easton, the Chief Executive of The Young Women's Trust, explains the problem and the damaging effect of gendered job advice.

Egypt's Lost Queens - how women could have ruled ancient Egypt. Professor Joann Fletcher explains how women and female gods lay at the very heart of its culture. Anna Karenina - Rosamund Bartlett has completed a new translation and discusses her take on this classic Russian novel. And office picnics - a look at the perhaps lost art of picnicking with colleagues.

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Emma Wallace.
