52% of the four million people eligible to vote in the Scottish referendum on September 18th are female. Previous research indicated that many of them were undecided or less in favour of independence than their male counterparts. However, a poll at the weekend suggested women's support for 'Yes Scotland' has risen from 33% to 47%. With ten days to go Jane speaks to campaigners from both sides to investigate the current state of affairs. Crime writer Sophie Hannah has brought Hercule Poirot back to life in a new novel, The Monogram Murders. She describes how it feels to be an Agatha Christie super-fan and step into the literary shoes of her heroine. Ruzwana Bashir, a successful, young businesswoman has been inspired by the revelations from Rotherham to talk publicly about the abuse she suffered as a child. She explains to Jane why it's so hard for British-Asian women to speak out about sexual abuse. Is the current crop of twenty-somethings cleaner living than previous generations? Official statistics show alcohol consumption amongst younger people falling for the first time since the 1950s. So what is behind the shift? Presenter: Jane Garvey.
