Description

The ongoing struggle for women to be taken seriously; and why we lack authority in the minds of so many men. Annette Young talks to UK journalist and broadcaster, Mary Ann Sieghart, who's written a book entitled 'The Authority Gap.'

Plus how swimming lessons for girls in the Maldives, not only saves lives but also gives them access to jobs in once inaccessible sectors such as tourism and fishing.
