Available for over a year

In September 2011, Judith Tebbutt was snatched by Somali pirates while on holiday at a beach resort in Kenya. Her husband David was murdered during the abduction, but she was taken to Somalia where she was held hostage for six months. Jane Garvey talks to her about how inner resilience and family love helped her survive, and about the challenge of trying to build a new life back home. Taekwondo, the fast and furious martial art in which competitors use kicks to make contact with their opponent's head and body is enjoying something of a surge in popularity with women and girls - possibly due to the success of Jade Jones, who won gold at the London Olympics. Jade chats about the sport and winning Gold in London and we visit a club in Liverpool talking to some young taekwondo enthusiasts . The iconic feminist magazine Spare Rib was first published in 1972 and ran until 1993. It quickly established a reputation as the leading publication for feminist thought, debate and comment. Now the British Library is hoping to make it available online and it is on a quest to track down all the magazine's old contributors to seek their permission to republish their work. Plus the new set of emerging economies grabbing attention - the MINT economies of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey. All week we'll be looking at the status of women and girls in each of the countries starting today with Mexico. Presented by Jane Garvey. Producer Kirsty Starkey Edition Editor Beverley Purcell.
