BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, British Queens; Millennium Development Goals; The General Election; Women's Sport

British queens, Angelina Jolie, millennium development goals, and women in the election.

British queens, millennium development goals, and the role of women in the general election. Plus has women's sport come of age?

In September the Queen will become Britain's longest serving monarch. Royal Biographer Christopher Warwich and Tudor expert Sarah Gristwood discuss British Queens. In 2000, the UN adopted eight Millenium Development Goals to be achieved by 2015. How successful have they been? Penny Lawrence from Oxfam and Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka from UN Women discuss their impact on women. Newsnight's Political Editor Allegra Stratton takes a look at how women will influence the outcome of the 2015 General Election. Following an impressive new financial deal for women's tennis and the growing popularity of women's football, has women's sport finally come of age? We take a look at women's achievements in sport this year and ahead at the sporting events of 2015 with Eleanor Oldroyd. And another chance to hear our June interview with Angelina Jolie.
