Audre Lorde
Audre Lorde called herself a βblack, lesbian, mother, warrior, poetβ. Born in New York in 1934 to parents originally from the West Indies, Lorde was a pioneer of the black feminist movement, and focused specifically on the ways in which sexism, racism and homophobia combined to preclude black lesbians like herself from being part of βmainstreamβ second-wave feminism β then dominated by white women such as Betty Freidan. To mark Black History Month, Jenni is joined by fellow poet and friend of Lorde, Jackie Kay, to discuss her life and legacy.Thane Prince Cooks the Perfect... Raspberry Jam

Gender quotas in politics
The World Economic Forumβs Gender Gap Report published this week ranked the UK 26th out of 142 countries. On the representation of women in parliament, the UK performed even worse, coming in at number 63. In fact, there are more male MPs now than the total number of female MPs ever. So how can we make politics more representative? In Ireland, they will have gender quotas for the first time at their next elections. And in Scotland there are calls for similar rules to be introduced. Jenni speaks to Irish academic and campaigner Fiona Buckley and Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale about the pros and cons of quotas.Credits
