For our power list we have been looking at key players in the UK, but one woman who dominates Europe is Angela Merkel. She's been described as Europe's 'Iron Lady' but what sort of woman exactly is Angela Merkel? Jenni speaks to Margaret Heckel, who has written a biography of her. It's two months on since the new Police and Crime Commissioners were sworn in. Only six of the forty-one successful candidates are women. Jenni speaks to three of them to find out how the experience has turned out for them and how useful the new post proved so far? As the 200th edition of Diva magazine is published we look at how the experience of being a lesbian has changed since its first publication in 1994. All this week Woman's Hour has been be looking at singleness. Today Jenni discusses being single by choice.
