Chelsea Clinton became known around the world as a young child living in the White House, and later helped her mother Hillary in her failed bid to become the first female President of the United States. Today she is a mother herself, Vice President of the Clinton Foundation, and has a new children's picture book - She Persisted Around The World: 13 Women Who Changed History. It tells the stories of extraordinary women, like Malala and Marie Curie, who persevered in the face of prejudice and changed history. She joins us to talk about her book, why children need resilient female role models in positions of power, and, in an era of Trump and in her work for the Clinton Foundation, what needs to done to achieve gender equality in the US and around the world.

Amid the #Time'sUp and #MeToo movements which have highlighted gender inequality in the film industry, this year's Sundance Film Festival in London champions female voices and asks #WhatNext for women in the industry.

Having endured a long history of systemic discrimination, women filmmakers may be getting a glimpse of a future that values their voices equally to their male counterparts, as Amy Adrion explores in her new documentary Half the Picture, in which women directors tell the stories of their art, lives and careers. Tina is joined by Amy and the film critic Karen Krizanovich.
