Dame Eileen Atkins - the journey from being Tottenham's answer to Shirley Temple to hugely respected actor for stage, screen and TV.In our final discussion to mark our 75th anniversary we look at the issue of equal pay. This was identified as the area women most want to see change in their daily lives and 70% of those asked said they had experienced inequality in this area.
Dame Eileen Atkins joins Emma to talk about the journey from being Tottenham's answer to Shirley Temple to hugely respected actor for stage, screen and TV. Her memoir is called 'Will She Do?' Today MPs are going to debate new government plans that would mean members who are suspended for sexual harassment or bullying could face a by-election. Labour want the measure to apply retrospectively - so that it would include the Conservative MP Rob Roberts who was suspended from Parliament for six weeks in May after an independent panel found he had sexually harassed a former employee.
Composer Charlotte Bray has composed new song cycle called Crossing Faultlines. Believed to be the first of its kind to address the topic of women in the workplace, the song cycle explores themes of mentorship, discrimination and ambition. The piece was commissioned as part of a new recital programme dream.risk.sing: elevating women’s voices, an initiative conceived to express women’s stories through song. Emma is joined by Charlotte Bray, Samantha Crawford and Lana Bode.
A father that treated his daughter the same as his sons. Teachers in primary and secondary school that encouraged an inquiring mind and youth worker that helped me connect with my local community.
I've been introduced to some truths, but not by BBC;
I loved listening earlier. 💜💜💜
2/2 I could read under the blankets at night after lights out. I really believed (age 7) that my parents didn’t know what was going on. My love of books and literature grew from that time
1/2 Wonderful interview! My first saviour was my Grandpa who believed wholeheartedly that children should be seen and heard. He would chat with us for hours as children, making us feel very valued. My second was a great uncle. He bought me a torch, supplied spare batteries all so
How silly to reject Charlotte Bray's music with the same response contemporary artists hear all the time ('My 3-yr-old could have drawn that!'). The fact some ppl dislike contemporary classical music shouldn't detract from this groundbreaking moment for female classical musicians
Great to see so many women supporting women on these replies. Well done, nasty trolls 🙄
Call me a fuddy-duddy but found that very discordant.
I hope it is the last of its kind. What an awful noise
'What were we listening to there?' 🤣
She’s having a laugh….isn’t she
Unnerving, exciting, thought provoking! What a voice! 💚

It set my spaniel off (female) howling 🤔
