It's less than a hundred years since the suffragettes were fighting for the right to vote and have an impact on their environment. Tonight's discussion questions whether today's women appreciate the sacrifices made by their ancestors or if gender equality is taken for granted. Journalist Polly Toynbee is joined by a number of high-profile women to debate the issue, including Helena Kennedy QC; chief executive of the Equality and Human Rights Commission Nicola Brewer; writer Tahmima Anam; and chair of the British Youth Council Emily Beardsmore.
