With Jane Garvey. The secret letters that shed new light on the life of singer Edith Piaf who's the subject of a newly published biography. Official figures in India support the view that the number of girls born there is continuing to decline, despite a legal ban on sex selective abortions. Two guests discuss how to bring about a change in inherent cultural attitudes towards girls. With a referendum on the Alternative Vote weeks away, we look at whether changing the voting system could benefit women. There's music from Europop singer Tatiana, whose musical style has been compared to that of Amy Winehouse.
