Jenni Murray's 30 years of presenting Woman's Hour, classical piano, starting university.

Celebrating 30 years of Jenni Murray presenting Woman's Hour. Plus classical pianist Beatrice Rana, preparing for university and the legacy of US feminist Kate Millett.

30 years since Jenni Murray started presenting Woman's Hour, we listen again to some archive of interviews Jenni did with a selection of political and cultural figures.

Kate Millett, whose 1970 book Sexual Politics became a keystone of second-wave feminism, has died at the age of 82. She is described as a wayward artist, thinker and activist. Jenni is joined by the crime writer, Val McDermid and Ettie Bailey-King, co-organiser of The School's Consent Project to discuss Millett's legacy.

How do you prepare to go to university? What do you pack, physically, how do you get ready emotionally and what is it that you might you never have considered in your wildest dreams - but you really really need to know? Jenni is joined by Lucy Tobin, author of 'A Guide to Uni Life', mum Nikki and her 18-year old daughter Emily who is preparing to go to university for the first time on Sunday. 

Aged 24, classical pianist Beatrice Rana, one of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists, has topped the classical album charts, and made her debut at the Hollywood Bowl and BBC Proms. She has been nominated for Gramophone Magazine's Young Artist of the Year award, one of the most prestigious music awards for young classical artists in the world. Beatrice joins Jenni to discuss her career to perform live Variation 1 from Bach's Goldberg Variations.
