Joanna Foster , who chairs the Equal Opportunities
Commission, believes that Britain, despite having a woman running it for the past ten years, is still a place where women are undervalued, badly paid, discriminated against and patronised at work. But is that about to end? In the last of the series, Joanna Foster reveals to
Vivian White her vision of a revolution in traditional attitudes and explains why she believes we are on the verge of dramatic change in the way both men and women live and work.

The Poll Tax - Fair or Flawed?
In five weeks' time, more than 35 million people in England and Wales will start paying the Community Charge, or Poll Tax. But the new tax has created a great deal of controversy. In Scotland, where it was introduced last
April, up to one million people still haven't paid, and local authorities have found it complicated and costly to administer. Public Eye examines the theory and practice of the Poll Tax, and asks whether claims that it's a simpler, fairer and more accountable tax stand up to detailed scrutiny.
