	Description:		Frida Kahlo's possessions. As a new exhibition of the artist's personal objects opens at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, curator Circe Henestrosa explains how they shed a light on her life. Plus, upskirting legislation and image based sexual abuse. The proposed upskirting bill has been widely welcomed but some lawyers and academics claim the legislation should be broadened to include 'revenge' and 'fake' porn. Jenni is joined by Professor Erika Rackley of Birmingham Law School to discuss. Mahalia. As part of our Power List celebrating women in music, the 19 year old singer and songwriter describes growing up as a teenager in the music industry after being signed at age 13, and performs her new single, live in the Woman's Hour studio. And Lesley Garrett and Madeline Shaw talk about their new opera, Lady Rhondda Rips It Up. It celebrates the unsung heroine of the Welsh Suffrage movement, Margaret Haig Thomas, also known as Viscountess Rhondda. The activist and entrepreneur paved the way for equal rights for women, survived the sinking of the Lusitania, left her husband for a woman, and started the first radical feminist magazine, Time and Tide. They explain why so few people know about her, and perform a medley of songs from the opera.
