For 60 years, Woman's Hour has charted the changing status of women throughout the latter 20th century and into the 21st and now attracts an audience of around 2.7 million people across the week.
Since its launch, a number of Woman’s Hour-type radio programmes have grown up around the world, for example in South Africa, Lithuania and Costa Rica.
Two programmes that have drawn a direct influence from the radio 4 version are Woman’s Hour Sarawak and Afghan Woman's Hour. Woman's Hour Sarawak was the brainchild of Eileen Ward, a former Woman's Hour reporter, who was posted with her husband to Sarawak in the mid 1960s during the Indonesian Malaysian confrontation. Angela Robson met up with her.
