Read full article...Janet Street-Porter is still the voice of outrage but now she targets the Facebook generation, says Viv Groskop
After one of the City’s highest-flying women describes 12 months of maternity leave as “a nightmare” for employers, a writer and working mother offers her own “gender-friendly” solution to the problem
Britt Lintner, hedge fund manager and bespoke clothes designer, knows exactly what to wear to the office. That's why she donates her spare clothes to help women look the part at job interviews
Rod Liddle has outraged feminists with his sexist comments about Harriet Harman but he tells Viv Groskop he's really on their side
The editor of British Vogue talks about her opposite number in New York, that fly-on-the-wall documentary, weight, and how we can still enjoy shopping in a recession
In just six years the Bugaboo pushchair has become a design classic and established itself as the baby-carrier the stars prefer to push, says Viv Groskop
As Sir Alan Sugar faces an all-female Apprentice final between ice-cool Kate Walsh and fiery Yasmina Siadatan, has the tide turned?
You can sense that Stephanie Flanders does not suffer fools gladly. Colleagues describe her as imperious and scary. She doesn't like clichés much either. "The phrase 'green shoots' is the bane of my life," she says, wrinkling her nose
Can it ever be right for a woman to have a baby past 60? Next month Elizabeth Munro, 66, a businesswoman from Suffolk, is set to deliver her first child, following fertility treatment in Ukraine
I adore musicals - the cheesier and more ridiculous the better. I loved Never Forget, the Take That extravaganza, and when Merrily We Roll Along was on at the Donmar a few years ago, I went to see it three times
Never mind the analysis of Obama's first 100 days. What about the verdict on America's true President non-elect, Michelle? If Barack's school report so far is cautiously good - let's call it a B minus - then it's in sharp contrast to Mrs O, who's got A-stars all round.
You have to feel sorry for black-cab drivers. It's not their fault that John Worboys - sentenced to an indeterminate jail sentence on Tuesday for rape and sex attacks - was one of their number.

One conversation topic is really getting my hackles up at the school gates. It's not cupcakes, charity fundraisers or even the May ball (actually now cancelled due to the recession). No, it's the T word. Tracker mortgage.
You know times are getting tough when Kate Moss starts dressing like an extra in Arthur Miller’s play about the Salem witch trials
No one likes student teachers. Especially not the pupils. As a mean 13-year-old I can remember hounding a student teacher, a Mr Bean lookalike, out of his first class. He deserved it
Until this week I ignored Harriet Harman's existence. Because every time I saw her, I found something out about her that made me like her less. But desperate times call for desperate measures. And after years of steering clear of Harman, I'm coming round to thinking she should be our leader.
