Joanna Lumley

Joanna Lumley is best known as the champagne-swilling fashion luvvie Patsy in the television series Absolutely Fabulous. However, alongside acting she is also known for her modelling, charitable work, and as a rights campaigner. She famously campaigned to allow Gurkha veterans to settle in the UK, and now she is backing a sustainable fashion initiative, run in partnership with Oxfam. She is an influential woman in British life, and so in February our panel of judges included her in our Woman's Hour Power List. Joanna joins Jane to talk about sustainable fashion, carving out an influential career as a woman, and her views on women, power and feminism.
