Vanessa Feltz has been a fixture on our TV screens and radio stations – not to mention tabloid headlines – for three decades. Now she has written a memoir, Vanessa Bares All, which charts the many ups and downs of her personal and professional life, from the Big Breakfast Bed to the Big Brother house, via Madonna and Miss Piggy. If farming can seem to be a man's world, then ploughing is especially male. So who are the women taking part in ploughing competitions like the one in The Archers this week? Sarah Williams, a competitive plougher, joins Anita, as does Sarah Hehir, a writer on The Archers. A new documentary called Kingdom Uncovered: Inside Saudi Arabia follows an undercover journalist attempting to record what life is really like in the country. The current government say they have improved the situation for women, but is this really the case? Human rights activist Lina Al-Hathloul, whose sister Loujain was imprisoned for defending women's rights, joins Anita alongside Dr Maryam Aldossari, a Senior Lecturer at the University of London. From 15th century birth girdles to 13th century make-up tutorials, a new exhibition at the British Library reveals what life was like for medieval women. Curator Eleanor Jackson and writer Bee Rowlatt, who both work at the Library, talk about challenging our ideas of women in the Middle Ages. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Emma Pearce

Mary Wollstonecraft was a firebrand thinker of the Enlightenment – proposing radical ideas about the fundamental rights of women. And her life was just as groundbreaking as her work, from having a front row seat at the French Revolution and embarking on a treasure hunt for stolen silver along the Norwegian coast, to courting scandal by giving birth outside of wedlock. In today's Life of the Week episode, author Bee Rowlatt tells Ellie Cawthorne more about Wollstonecraft's life and legacy.

Celebrated satirist, critic and writer Craig Brown’s Baillie Gifford Prize winning recent biography One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time is a serendipitous retelling of the chance merger of four elemental figures. An enchanting mix of history, autobiography, interviews and fan letters, it brings forth a fitting tribute to a band whose words echo through homes even today. Through a kaleidoscopic mix of narratives, the book also presents a look into the lives of those around them who were engulfed and impacted by their astounding success and tragedy. Brown is the only person to have won three different Press Awards, for best humorist, columnist and critic, in the same year. Known for his riveting parodies in Private Eye, he is also the author of Ma’am Darling: 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret, The Tony Years and One on One among many others. In conversation with writer and broadcaster Bee Rowlatt, Brown takes us through the story of four men who represented not just a cultural milieu but also timeless music and fervent fame.

From Our Own Correspondent Podcast

"Watch your back Howard!" was one of the politer messages the BBC Philippines Correspondent received after making a documentary about Rodrigo Duterte. As Howard Johnson has found, journalists who question the President can become the target of organised attacks by online trolls. Kate Adie introduces this and other stories from correspondents around the world: The CFO of Huawei once saw Vancouver as a refuge, a base outside of China should she ever need it, now she’s not allowed to leave the city. Micky Bristow gets a glimpse of life in Canada for members of the Chinese elite. Bee Rowlatt interviews Germaine Greer at the Jaipur Literature Festival – and wonders what its usually outspoken crowd will make of their outspoken guest. Jasmine Taylor Coleman joins a puffin patrol in Iceland, as locals try to protect the endangered birds. And disorganised chaos or a carefully choreographed dance? Alastair Leithead tries to figure out what’s going on in an airport in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and what it says about the country.

Beyond the Female Eunuch: Germaine Greer in conversation with Bee Rowlatt

In 1970, Germaine Greer published The Female Eunuch, an immediate worldwide bestseller that remains a landmark in the history of the women’s movement. Since then, Greer has published a succession of hard-hitting, often hotly debated and continually surprising books, most recently On Rape, in which she controversially argues that it's time to rethink rape. Centuries of different approaches to rape – as inflicted by men on women – have, she writes, got us nowhere. Rape statistics remain intractable: one woman in five will experience sexual violence. Very few rapes find their way into court. The crucial issue is consent, thought by some to be easy to establish and by others, impossible. Sexual assault does not diminish; relations between the sexes do not improve; litigation balloons. Greer argues there has to be a better way. This episode is a live session from day 1 of #ZEEJLF2019.

In today's episode of Mum-to-Mum Monday, we're going on an adventure. Back in time to the 18th Century where we follow the extraordinary story of a mother of yesteryear. If Mary Wollstonecraft was around today, she would be considered a pretty normal mum. But back then her actions and choices caused plenty of tut-tutting and twitching curtains, and her bad reputation preceded her. My guest today is SuperMum Bee Rowlatt. Bee is a writer, journalist and broadcaster who has worked for the BBC for over two decades. She's a regular contributor to the Daily Telegraph, and the author of several books including ‘In Search of Mary' which we'll be talking about today. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, she also has four children aged between 6 and 15. Bee, her husband and four kids moved from London to New Delhi a couple of years ago in search of their next life-experience. In a moment of ‘mum-life crisis' and sick of the endless piles of laundry, Bee whisked up her 10 month old son and set off on an extraordinary adventure in search of the life and legacy of Mary Wollstonecraft, the first celebrity feminist. In her quest to find a new balance between careers and babies, Bee also discovered the importance of celebrating the radiant power of love in all our lives. In discussing motherhood in the 1790's, Bee brings the joys, challenges and craziness of being a mum right back into the 21st Century. We talk about ‘having it all' as a mum; the influence of culture on your experience as a mum; and creating adventure in your life despite the restrictions of motherhood. Bee is the most down-to-earth, tell-it-like-it-is, frank, honest and open mum I've had on the show, and I know you're gonna love her. So hold on to your hats, we're going on an adventure!
