The Zimbabwean singer and dancer Anna Mudeka who specialises in the traditionally male Mbira music of her ancestors performs If I Were A Boy.

The professor of EU Law at the University of Cambridge discusses Theresa May's Great Repeal Bill which will convert EU law into British Law. What effect will this have on current laws that enshrine women's rights?

The chef Monica Galleti cooks the perfect artichoke salad with lemon and fennel.

Peggy Orenstein talks about her new book Girls and Sex. What sorts of pressures and expectations are girls experiencing today - and why is their own pleasure one of the last things they consider in intimate relationships?

Jackie Clune on performing with the all-female cast in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Julius Caeser and The Tempest all set in a women's prison.

And we look at the etiquette of group texts whether between work colleagues, school friends or your family - how can you avoid making a social faux pas? The journalist Edwina Langley and the comedian Helen Thorn discuss.
