It's one year since a twitterstorm sparked by the Abbey Theatre's male dominated Waking the Nation programme prompted a hashtag and an international movement #Wakingthefeminists. Founder Lian Bell looks back on an eventful year with host Kathy Sheridan while historian Dr Brenda Donohue explores the impact. The author of Trapped in Iran Samieh Hezari talks to Roisin Ingle about her desperate attempt to bring her Irish born daughter home to Ireland. This week's Herstory is Celia Harrison, a painter and feminist from Holywood, Co Down.
