Exploring the complex issue of what people really think about women in the workplace. With the UK's top jobs still predominantly held by men, what - if anything - is holding women back?
In the second of two provocative programmes, we look at pay, asking why there is still a pay gap several decades after the Equal Pay Act. Presenters Sophie Raworth and Justin Rowlatt want to find out why the average pay gap is 17 per cent. And it is not just professional curiosity; as parents of girls, the pair really want to know.
On their journey Sophie and Justin meet professionals, mums and academics, and do some of their own tests, asking whether it is just sexism at play or if there are more complex reasons. Could it be that women are actually choosing to earn less? And they find some shocking facts: in the US thin women earn more than fat women; girls who go to single-sex schools go on to earn more; and hundreds of thousands of women in the UK are illegally being paid less than their male counterparts.

The Willmar 8 is Academy Award winner Lee Grant's documentary about working women which has been featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, excerpted on 60 Minutes, and was broadcast nationally by PBS. The film tells the story of eight unassuming, apolitical women in America's heartland--Willmar, Minnesota--who were driven by sex discrimination at work to take the most unexpected step of their lives and found themselves in the forefront of the struggle for women's rights. Risking jobs, friends, family and the opposition of church and community, they began the longest bank strike in American history in a dramatic attempt to assert their own equality and self-worth.

The long history of equal pay for women has yet to result in wage justice. In 1972 an historical decision of 'equal pay for equal work' was handed down by the Arbitration Commission.

The long history of equal pay for women has yet to result in wage justice. In 1972 an historical decision of 'equal pay for equal work' was handed down by the Arbitration Commission. However, the notion of 'comparable worth' was not accepted at the time. In 1985, with women still only receiving 67% of men's wages, the ACTU mounted another action in the industrial courts to have the notion of 'comparable worth' confirmed. Using nurses' claims for better pay as a test case, it aimed to show that the nature of their work was comparable in many respects to that of better paid firemen, policemen and ambulance attendants. This program examines the history of equal pay and women's rights, and follows three women who were heavily involved in the nurses' case.

The moment someone declares, 'It's a boy!' or 'It's a girl!' the biological make up of that child isn't the only thing established - a process of gendering begins and continues throughout that person’s life. One aspect of that process is how we learn to communicate. Based on the premise that males and females learn different ways to relate, this program investigates how communication styles fall onto a continuum of what society deems as masculine and feminine and what it means to deviate from the norm.

Prejudice is a docu-drama that portrays stories of discrimination experienced by two young women from different backgrounds. Prejudice combines the use of actors and real people. In this exciting drama, officers of the Anti-Discrimination Board, union representatives and members of the legal profession play themselves. The first story concerns Jessica, a stills photographer, who becomes the first female photographer on a metropolitan newspaper. Jessica's outstanding talent quickly brings a promotion which causes resentment among her colleagues. A campaign of harassment ensues which forces Jessica to fight back. The other story is about Leticia, a Filipino nurse whose qualifications are disregarded by her employers. Despite her dedication and professionalism some patients object to being cared for 'by an Asian'. Leticia is constantly humiliated by the racist views aired by some of her colleagues. When her application for a promotion is dismissed, she decides it is time to take a stand. In a dramatic build up, each woman chooses to confront her crisis. One attempts to find a negotiated settlement; the other fights an intense court battle.
