The 2016 Powerlist, Masculinity, Glenda Jackson
The 2016 Powerlist featuring Bridget Jones and Germaine Greer; Grayson Perry on what it means to be a man; Glenda Jackson on returning to the stage after 23 years.
We continue our Powerlist celebrations hearing why Bridget Jones was one of the seven women who've had the most impact on women's lives in the last 70 years. Germaine Greer gives her reaction to being on the list.
The documentary film maker Karen Guthrie on the film she made capturing her family caring for her mother after a stroke. What can the experience of caring teach us about ourselves.
Grayson Perry discusses the notion of masculinity and talks to a group of 14 year old boys about what they think it means to be a man.
She's won two Oscars and was a junior MP in Tony Blair's government. Now, after 23 years, Glenda Jackson is back on stage playing King Lear. She tells us about the joys and demands of such an iconic role.
And we hear from the writer Sara Stewart who felt pushed into a heterosexual marriage by her mother. She tells us about the difficulties she and her wife faced when she finally came out.
