Anita Roddick
Anita Roddick - a game changer in the beauty world? The Pakistani politician and activist Humaira Awais Shahid. Plus Louise Welsh on her new novel A Lovely Way to Burn.
Dame Anita Roddick turned a small cosmetics shop she started in her Brighton kitchen into a global brand. and brought concepts like sustainable business and environmental awareness into the mainstream. So how much of a Game Changer was she within the beauty industry?
Law and order is breaking down in London as " the sweats", a deadly virus, sweeps through the city's population. It's Louise Welsh's new novel, A Lovely Way to Burn, the first in a trilogy, set in the very near future. Why are we so fascinated with apocalyptic tales of death, war and mass destruction?
We respond to a listener who contacted the programme and asked us to address the question; What is a healthy attitude to masturbation within a relationship? How open should we be about 'solo masturbation' when we have a partner?
Over the weekend the Law Society issued guidance for High Street solicitors on how to compose Islamic wills compliant with Sharia Law. What's behind their decision and what impact could it have on women?
Humaira Awais Shahid was a young academic when she married into one of the most powerful media families in Pakistan. She was persuaded to join The Post, the newspaper her husband edited, and was given the woman's pages. Rather than continuing to run articles on beauty and celebrities, she decided to launch investigations into the issues facing women in Pakistan; acid attacks, forced marriage, and child prostitution. It led to a career in politics and to her becoming known as "the most unmanageable woman in Pakistan."
