Patricia Greene, Gender pay gap, Love Island
Programme that offers a female perspective on the world.
All this week we'll be talking to actor Patricia Greene about sixty years in the role of Jill Archer. We dip into The Archers' archive as far back as 1959 and discuss how her character has reflected changes in women's lives over time.
Some of the 麻豆社's most high-profile female personalities have called on the corporation to "act now" to deal with the gender pay gap. At the 麻豆社 the gender pay gap is 10%, whereas nationally that figure is 18%. So what is the situation like for women across the country in the workplace? Jane hears from listeners and talks to Sarah Veale, former head of Equality and Employment Rights at the TUC, Labour MP Jess Phillips and Charlie Dobrez, Director of Lewes FC in Sussex where the women's and men's teams are paid the same.
Love Island divides opinion. Some adore escaping to Majorca every evening for 60 minutes of sun, skimpy swimwear and bronzed, beautiful contestants. Others cannot fathom the vulgarity of the reality TV show and dismiss it as trash. Whichever camp you fall into, Love Island has us talking about dating, sex on TV, feminism and gender equality in the villa. As the final airs tonight, we discuss the programme with author Elizabeth Day and journalist Barbara Ellen.
'Mother Tongues' is a series of short films that sees acclaimed female poets of colour collaborating with their mums to translate their work into their mother's first language. The poets and their mothers also discuss the importance of culture and heritage. Jane meets Victoria Adukwei Bulley, filmmaker and the creator of Mother Tongues, along with her mother, Comfort Bulley.
