Musical women

Woman's Hour joins in the national glee-fest that is BBC Music Day with a Top Forty Power List of Women in Music. Topped by Beyonce and Taylor Swift, we find only two BBC employees - DJ Annie Mac and Radio 3 Editor and Diversity Lead Edwina Wolstencraft. No room, apparently, for taste-makers like Zoe Ball, Sara Cox, Lauren Laverne, Liza Tarbuck, Cerys Matthews, Elaine Page, Clara Amfo, Suzy Klein, Sarah Walker and more.

And no space for BBC Music Commissioning Head, Jan Younghusband. Try the first minute or so of this video to marvel at how Jan's working life has been clarified by reporting to Bob Shennan and James Purnell.
