CEO Helen Morrissey on her new book, A Good Time to Be a Girl and her call to action: Don't lean in, change the system. Jess Phillips and Zac Goldsmith on FGM.

Sheryl Sandberg urged us to 'lean in' in the pursuit of gender equality at work. CEO Helena Morrissey has a more radical call to action: "Don't lean in, change the system". In her new book, A Good Time to Be a Girl, she says women at work should not be expected to play the game by male-defined rules, but that we need to redefine the game if we're to achieve equality. She joins Jane in the studio.

The fifteenth International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM takes place on Tuesday 6th February. Jess Phillips MP and Zac Goldsmith MP, co-Chairs of the All Party Parliamentary Group on FGM discuss the role of their group, the main concerns around the continued practice of FGM in certain communities here in the UK and how to develop concrete ways of stopping it.

The Secret Life of 5 Year Olds has an All Girls episode on Channel 4 documentary to mark 100 years since some women got the vote. We discuss with the programme's consultant Clinical Psychologist, Dr Elizabeth Kilbey how 5-year-olds see their futures and what opportunities and challenges await. 

A new book, False Report, written by two American journalists is about several police investigations into a number of rapes and sexual assaults in the USA. The two female detectives who helped to solve the case talk about the important role collaboration played in prosecuting a man who'd raped several women between 2008 and 2011.
