Uplifting stories about kindness and community are in vogue. Think bestsellers like Joanna Cannon's The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, Ruth Hogan's The Keeper of Lost Things and the massive hit of last year, Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Gail Honeyman and Libby Page, author of The Lido discuss.

Woman's Hour has brought together four women who've been abused online and is following their journey to take back conTROLL. Today we hear Charlotte's story. She's a barrister and 29 years old. In 2015 she found herself at the centre of a sexism row.

A record number of women in America are running for political office this year - 309 so far, a 90% increase on 2016. But after Hillary's defeat at the last election is America ready to elect more women and what needs to be done to make the possibility of a female President a reality?
