International Women's Day: Women in Work

Radio 1's Life Hacks - Adapt the World

Available for over a year

What do you want to do when you grow up? Doctor? Astronaut? Fireman? In light of International Women's Day, we're asking if young women's aspirations are limited by their gender? After having a hugely successful career in a male dominated industry, Edwina Dunn decided it was time to change things for women in the working world and founded her charity - The Female Lead - to do just that. Alongside entrepreneur Vanessa Sanyauke and inventor Ruth Amos, she tells Katie and Dr Radha about her campaign to encourage young women into industries where they are under-represented and inspire them to achieve more than they ever imagined!
