Chrissie Hynde; Author Kathy Reichs
With Jenni Murray. Chrissie Hynde on finally going solo. Saying goodbye: losing a baby through miscarriage or stillbirth. And can women compete with the old boys' network?
Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders on her life and career as a leading woman in music as she finally goes solo after 35 years.
Melanie Megevand, Women's Protection & Empowerment advisor at the International Rescue Committee talks about their new report which calls for action to help the thousands of Syrian female refugees who face a relentless cycle of sexual violence, harassment and early or forced marriage.
This Saturday in Glasgow a remembrance service will be taking place for anyone who's lost a baby through miscarriage or stillbirth. It's one in a series of services that have been taking place across the country this autumn called Saying Goodbye. Zoe and Andy Clark-Coates are behind the idea and explain why it's important to have a way to publicly acknowledge your loss.
Plus the forensic anthropologist and best selling author Kathy Reichs joins Jenni to talk about her latest novel, Bones Never Lie.
And as The Riot Club comes to a cinema near you, we ask; What's the value of being a member of an all boys club? Can women compete with the networking opportunities they offer?
Presented by Jenni Murray
Produced by Beverley Purcell.

And can, and should, women compete by establishing their own networks and societies?ÌýJenni is joined by journalist and Oxford University graduate Tanya Gold, and by Julia Hobsbawm who runs the networking business Editorial Intelligence and is Visiting Professor in Networking at two business schools.
