Available for over a year

Lauren Laverne presents the final programme in the Takeover. Power Lister Caitlin Moran invites her for a cuppa in her kitchen to talk all things women. So what is Caitlin's real relationship with power, money and family life? How has the success of 'How To Be A Woman' transformed the working class teenager from Wolverhampton? And what do you say to your daughters about feminism when you're watching music star Rihanna performing in very few clothes? Did Girl Power make feminism accessible? The Spice Girls burst onto the music scene in 1996 and since then have sold 80 million records world-wide. Their extraordinarily success meant that young girls were introduced en mass to the Spice Girls take on Girl Power, which emphasised the importance of female friendship and independence. At the time some feminists criticised Girl Power for being superficial and consumerist, but what effect has it had on their fans, most of whom are now women in their mid to late twenties? Plus The Staves - the acoustic folk-Americana playing sisters - take time out from working on their next album to play live in the Woman's Hour studio. Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Kat Wong.
