Presented by Jane Garvey. Burlesque: is it the acceptable face of stripping? An art form? Or simply exploitation? Pegged to a Time Out Magazine debate we talk to Opehlia Bitz and the academic Julia Long. Only 16% of UK businesses are owned by women so are women-only investment networks the answer to releasing funds for female entrepreneurs? Jane talks to Sally Goodsell of Finances SouthEast and Julie Meyer founder of Ariadne Capital and dragon on 麻豆社's Online Dragon's Den. And we have the latest news on Hormone Replacement Therapy and hear about the female boxers training for the 2012 Olympics.
