Now the manifestos have almost all been published by the political parties we look at what they are offering women in this general election. We hear from Danielle Sheridan, political correspondent at the Telegraph, Ash Sarkar, contributing editor at Novara Media and Rachel Sylvester Times columnist and political interviewer.
A statue of Nancy Astor, the first woman MP to take her seat in Parliament will be unveiled in Plymouth on Thursday, the centenary of her election. Mari Takaynagi Senior Archivist , Parliamentary Archives at the Houses of Parliament and Dr Jacqui Turner an Associate professor at Reading University tell us about her legacy and the importance of having the statue in the City she represented for 26 years.

And author Mikhal Dekel talks to Jane about the extraordinary true story of one thousand Polish-Jewish child refugees - among them her father - who escaped the Nazis and found refuge in Iran.
