Alexandra Wilson on her new book 鈥淚n Black and White鈥�. The story of breaking down barriers of race and class to become a barrister. She explains how losing a very close family friend to knife crime made her pursue a career in law and how she has overcome her family鈥檚 fears of becoming 鈥減art of the system鈥�

Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for President in this year鈥檚 US elections has finally named his running mate as Kamala Harris. Senator for California, she was Biden鈥檚 former rival for the Democratic nomination and will be the first woman of colour to be nominated for national office by a major political party. Kelly Dittmar, Director of Research at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, and Kimberly Peeler-Allen, co-founder of Higher Heights, an organisation supporting Black women into elected office, discuss the impact and reaction to her appointment.

Plus we hear all about latest female technology firms - also know as Femtechs. Offering everything from period tracking apps to cooling menopausal bracelets - can they help women have more control over their bodies and their health?

And the female authors looking to reclaim their name.
