Pioneering Women
One hundred years since British women over the age of 30 first got the vote, Rev Kate Bottley celebrates pioneering Christian women. She visits Mansfield College in Oxford to learn about Constance Coltman, the first woman to be ordained in a UK denomination over a century ago. Josie d'Arby gains exclusive access to an exquisite 400-year-old church altar cloth which experts say is from a skirt actually worn by Queen Elizabeth I. Josie also meets Ruth Awogbade, who launched her own Christian fashion magazine. And all this week's music, from across the UK, is inspired or written by women.\n\nMusic:\nBlessed Assurance - LSO St Lukes, London\nIn Heavenly Love Abiding - St German's Church, Cardiff\nWhat a Beautiful Name - St Catherine's Pontypridd\nBefore the Throne - Enniskillen\nTake My Life and Let it Be - Romsey Abbey\nHe Will Hold Me Fast from Belfast - Kristyn Getty\nTell Out My Soul - St John the Baptist, Tideswell.
