The mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence has been named the most powerful woman in the country in a list compiled for Radio 4's Woman's Hour.

Home Secretary Theresa May, who was ranked second in last year's inaugural Woman's Hour Power List, said Baroness Lawrence was 'an example to us all'.

The list of ten women, described as 'game-changers', was revealed in a live programme and included individuals involved in issues including female genital mutilation (FGM), child poverty and internet safety.
