Ten years ago Jean Else, a head teacher in Manchester was honoured by the Queen and made a Dame, after turning round a failing school. Following an investigation into appointments at the school she was sacked. Earlier this month she learned her honour had been withdrawn. Does she have any regrets ?

Plus the legacy of Stella Browne - an early 20th century campaigner for women's reproductive rights - whether married or not .
