To discuss, Nuala McGovern is joined by Caroline Slocock, former civil servant and author of Margaret Thatcher and Me, which reflects on women and power. Actor Cush Jumbo has reprised the role of Lady Macbeth alongside David Tennant in Macbeth which has just transferred to the Harold Pinter theatre in London. She joins Nuala to discuss how she is approaching one of Shakespeare's most famous female characters. A recent government survey showed a sharp decline in the number of female-led businesses.

Debbie Wosskow, serial entrepreneur and co-chair of the Invest in Women Taskforce, joins Nuala. Kate Mosse is soon to release The Map of Bones, the fourth and final instalment in her series of novels The Joubert Family Chronicles, which begin in 1562 and follow a persecuted Huguenot family, charting generations of courageous and resilient women.

What can the entrepreneurial community do to ensure more female founders receive financial backing? And, why is investing in women simply good business?
