Secretary of state for education Nicky Morgan and a cancer charity for ethnic minorities.

Secretary of state for education Nicky Morgan, Iryna Dovgan who was photographed being publicly abused in Ukraine, and a cancer charity which targets ethnic minorities.

Nicky Morgan joined the cabinet nearly six months ago when she became the minister for women. In July she was promoted, becoming Secretary of State for Education, while retaining the women's brief. She joins us from the Conservative Party conference to talk about what she's done so far and what the party plans to offer women voters at the General Election next May.

Iryna Dovgan made international headlines when she was photographed being kicked by a passer-by as she stood on a street corner with a placard round her neck that read, "She is a child killer". She was accused of being a spy for the Ukrainian army but was released when the photo of her sparked global outrage. She tells us about her terrible experience. We take a look at Cancerkin, a breast cancer charity which targets women from ethnic minority communities who often miss out on treatment. And as the film Gone Girl is released, we ask at what stage of a relationship do you reveal your true self?

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Corinna Jones.

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