Woman's Hour - 12/01/2011

Presented by Jenni Murray. Marine Le Pen looks set to take over the mantle of the far right from her father this weekend. So what might her impact be on French politics? "If I Never See You Again", is the first novel from Niamh O'Connor, a crime reporter for Ireland's Sunday World. She'll be talking to Jenni about the influence of her day-job on the characters and storyline. Recent news reports have highlighted the prosecution of gangs of predominantly Pakistani men for the grooming and sexual exploitation of young girls. We discuss the best way to tackle this appalling crime without stereotyping and dividing communities. And we hear the story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the legendary blues and gospel singer.
