Everywoman (radio programme)

Everywoman was a weekly radio magazine programme broadcast on the BBC World Service between March 1997 and April 2006. Billed as "for and about women", the programme covered a variety of social, political, environmental, and health issues from a woman's viewpoint.[1] Everywoman was regularly presented by Anna Umbima, Jane Garvey, and Shyama Perera.[2]

The song "Agolo" by Angélique Kidjo was popularised by its use as the programme's theme tune.[3]

Everywoman was axed in October 2005 as part of a shake-up of World Service programming, and ended in April 2006.[4] Archived episodes of the programme have since been made available on the BBC website.
