The Women's Social and Political Union medal is expected to fetch up to 拢15,000 at auction at Dix Noonan Webb next week. It belonged to Mary Richardson who's best known for taking an axe to the Rokeby Venus in 1914.

Hilda Kean from Ruskin College, Oxford joins Sheila to talk about Mary's life and her achievements.
