A celebration of Marguerite Patten, Inside the Women and Equalities Select Committee, Brene Brown

Cook Marguerite Patten's recipes for her 100th birthday, and Brene Brown discusses why failing can make us stronger, plus a look at the Women and Equalities Select Committee.

Cook a meal inspired by the recipes of Marguerite Patten to celebrate what would have been her 100th Birthday. Marguerite's daughter Judith and Rosemary Moon, former Chair of the Guild of Food Writers' Committee, discuss their favorite recipes.

We go inside the House of Commons Women and Equalities Select Committee and talk to the Chair, Maria Miller, and committee members Ben Howlett, Jess Phillips and Angela Crawley. If you would like to contribute to the committee's inquiry into the gender pay gap, follow the links below.

Brené Brown talks about her latest book, Rising Strong - and why she believes we should all have the courage to be vulnerable and tackle our self-doubt.

Producer Beverley Purcell.
