No-one can fail to notice how many statues of Great Men there are around London: stern politicians, military generals, imperial adventurers . . . But what about women? As shown by Juliet Rix in London's Statues of Women (SafeHaven Books, 2025), women are surprisingly well represented amongst London's statues. Recent years have seen new statues of Virginia Woolf in Richmond, Mary Wollstonecraft in Stoke Newington, even boxer Nicola Adams in Brent. But there are also groundbreaking statues commemorating the Black community, notably the two of Brixton resident Joy Battick on its railway station platforms. And you'll find historical figures from Florence Nightingale to Joan of Arc and Edith Cavell – as well as Twiggy. And how many ballet dancers are commemorated, and where? And which famous tennis player was the unlikely model for the young girl with dolphin by Tower Bridge? This is a book that really will make you see London in a new way. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Born into a tough life in Leeds in the early 1980s, Nicola immediately loved enjoyed the discipline she found in boxing at the age of 12.

En este programa hablaremos de la gran eclosión que ha experimentado el boxeo femenino desde los años noventa hasta la actualidad. Rendiremos homenaje a la gran pionera y luchadora Lady Tyger. Posteriormente, la conocida "Hija del Minero", Christy Martyn, se va a convertir en una figura fundamental en este proceso. Su fichaje por Don King y su inclusión en las veladas televisadas supuso la elevación del boxeo femenino al mayor de los escenarios. Por su estilo agresivo y espectacularidad, Martin fue la primera boxeadora que alcanzó el estatus de superestrella. Pero, paralelamente, su vida es una auténtica novela dramática en la que tuvo que superar abusos, relaciones tóxicas y hasta un gravísimo intento de asesinato, antes de volver a remontar el vuelo. También hablaremos de otras grandes boxeadoras que derribaron barreras como Jane Couch, Regina Halmich o Lucia Rikjer. La inclusión del boxeo femenino en el programa olímpico supuso el punto de inflexión final. Los históricos juegos de Londres 2012 vieron cómo se coronaban tres auténticas megaestrellas: Nicola Adams, Katie Taylor y Claressa Shields. Y por supuesto tendremos un recuerdo muy especial para las pioneras españolas.

MPs from the privileges committee have said Boris Johnson may have misled Parliament multiple times over Partygate - but the former PM insists he will be vindicated by their report. Meanwhile, Tory MPs say they're angry that Sue Gray, who lead the Partygate probe, has been offered a job by the Labour party. Alex Forsyth explains why these two stories matter. Nicola Adams, two-time Olympic boxing champion and backer of the ‘This Girl Can' campaign, joins Adam and the BBC's Natalie Pirks to examine why millions of women are turned off sport. Today's episode was presented by Adam Fleming and was made by Tim Walklate with Cordelia Hemming, Peter Cooke, Miranda Slade and Rufus Gray. The technical producer was Michael Regaard.

Today I'm talking about exercise and sport, with model and campaigner, Shareefa J. ADHD is incredibly common amongst elite athletes, and yet for the majority of sufferers, it makes it doubly hard to perform. I was 37 when it was first suggested I might have ADHD, so I obviously went straight to Google to see what kind of company I was in. I landed on an article about how common ADHD is in elite athletes — Simone Biles, Michael Phelps, Nicola Adams, gymnast Louis Smith, and Shaquille O'Neal are all in the club — and thought that perhaps everyone had been wrong about my diagnosis after all. Because I can NOT enjoy team sports, I can't throw or catch convincingly and I fall over my uncooperative limbs a lot. I struggle to follow instructions and routines, and I have never - not once - got the promised endorphin rush to outweigh the nausea and boredom of running. Years of criticism from PE teachers didn't help, and now I'm torn between wanting to live a long and healthy life, and not wanting to spend a moment of it working out. Shareefa is one of the people who make me want to keep trying to find my 'thing', though. Shareefa is a model, mental-health campaigner, presenter and body positivity advocate. She was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 24, and shares helpful tips on dealing with the condition on her Instagram feed. Shareefa shares her top tips for making exercise work for you, taking into account all the challenges ADHD can bring to maintaining a healthy routine. She and I discuss what doesn't work, too, and discover a shared dislike of school PE. Shareefa also reveals her secret to making a habit stick, how she feels about exercise today and how her ADHD impacts her sense of self. You can find Shareefa here. THE EXPERT Dr Jo Steer is a chartered clinical psychologist working with children in Surrey, and the author of Understanding ADHD in Girls and Women Please note, your first port of call if you think you might have ADHD should be your GP.

Vivianne Miedema of the Netherlands and Arsenal has been crowned the winner of BBC Women's Footballer of the Year 2021. The annual award from the BBC World Service is voted for by football fans from around the world. She is the all-time leading scorer in the FA WSL (women's super league) and has scored more goals at the international level for the Netherlands than any other player, across both the women's and men's teams. This month, November 2021 she became the first player in the history of the WSL to score against every team they have faced, after scoring against Manchester United. Nicola Adams OBE is officially Great Britain's most successful female boxer of all time. She won gold at the London Olympics in 2012 and repeated the achievement in Rio in 2016. She is the only female boxer in the history of the sport to have won every major title available to her; Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth. So, it's not a surprise that Amazon Prime Video have made a documentary about her. Lioness: The Nicola Adams Story explores her difficult upbringing and her battles with sexism, racism and homophobia to get in the ring. We find out how a girl from a council estate in Leeds became a #Lioness. In the first part of a new series 'Under Pressure' Zoe and James explain how 'Ed' which is the name they gave Zoe's eating disorder changed their lives. How is a relationship impacted when life stuff happens? We don't often hear about adoptions that break down, but last week former BBC Scotland health correspondent Eleanor Bradford wrote about her "heart-breaking" decision to return her adopted son to the care system. She said she was unable to cope with her son's “extremely challenging” behaviour and that she was “furious about the lack of support for adoptive parents” in Scotland. Eleanor Bradford joins Emma to share her experience along with the chief executive of Adoption UK, Sue Armstrong Brown.

Kirsty Young's castaway is Nicola Adams. She made history when she won the first ever Olympic gold medal in women's boxing at London 2012, retaining it in Rio 2016. She is the first woman fighter to hold European, World, Commonwealth and Olympic titles. Having watched classic Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard fights on TV as she was growing up, she entered the ring for the first time at a working men's club when she was only 13. When she was 14, her mother contracted meningitis and for several months Nicola looked after herself and her younger brother. She turned to acting in order to help fund her boxing training, appearing as an extra in Coronation Street and Emmerdale. She first represented her country when she was 18. In 2009 it was announced that women's boxing would feature for the first time at the London Olympics, although before her selection for Team GB she fell down stairs and had to recover from a fracture in one of her vertebra. In 2012 she topped The Independent newspaper's Pink List of the most powerful LGBT people in public life, was made an MBE for services to boxing in 2013 and received a 'Paving The Way' award at the 2016 Mobo awards.Producer: Cathy Drysdale.
