Sarah Montague speaks to former Labour minister, Harriet Harman. For much of her political life she has been accused of being a 'humourless feminist' but she has been effective, she is the politician behind the equality act, the minimum wage, the guarantee of a minimum income for pensioners, longer maternity leave, and laws on domestic violence.
