Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Raha Moharrak on being the first Saudi woman to climb Everest. Does parenting style have any impact on whether a child is likely to be bullied at school? We hear from Professor Dieter Wolke about his new study of bullying. There are currently 2.4 million women in the UK who do not work but want to and a new report highlights their untapped potential and calls for more women to set up new businesses. Maria Miller is Minister for Women and Equalities and a Woman's Hour Power Lister and she joins Jane to discuss the role women play in economic growth. And Mary Jane Baxter will be making her own hat live in the studio. Jane Garvey presents the programme that offers a female perspective on the world.
