Power List: Angela Merkel

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

For our power list we have been looking at key players in the UK, but one woman who dominates Europe is Angela Merkel. This year will be a challenging one for her as she heads towards elections in the autumn. Angela Merkel has been the chancellor of Germany since 2005, she is the first woman and the first former East German to hold that post. This is the third time that she is facing election. She's been described as Europe’s 'Iron Lady' but what sort of woman exactly is Angela Merkel? Jenni speaks to Margaret Heckel, who has written a biography of Angela Merkel.
