Women of inspiration on this weeks show.....

GirlsTalkBack’ had a fantastic show this Monday and want to thank all our guests for talking to us.

First up on this weeks show, we had the pleasure of chatting to talented actress and business woman, Rachel Kavanagh. Rachel filled us in on her new business venture, ROCKSTAR TAN, her own fake tan line which she launched recently. This tan is what all you women out there have been waiting for and is going from strength to strength!! Not alone is this tan extremely affordable but it also contains organic ingredients which adjust according to your natural skin tone. GTB are big tan fans so a natural looking healthy tan this winter is what all Irish women need. The tan itself is scented with natural Organic fragrance. The unique mix of Raspberry & Almond essence will leave you smelling and feeling fantastic!. It's so delicious, we could almost eat it! The tan comes in a distinctive black bottle which Rachel searched high and low for. The results were certainly worth the wait. Rockstar tan is available nationwide. To find your nearest stockist log onto http://www.rockstartan.ie/index.html. GTB are certainly fans of Rockstar tan and cant way to try it out. Our prayers have been answered!

‘Ellen Gunning’ journalist, broadcaster and PR consultant joined the GTB team live on the airwaves to talk about her fantastic new book called ‘Capital Women of influence, Profiles of 13 inspirational Irish women’. She spoke about how it all started off in the Dublin City FM studios over a 13 week series interviewing successful and inspiring Irish women including Pauline Bewick, Caroline Downey and Maree Morrissey and Mary O'Rourke.
The show was such a triumph that Ellen decided to turn it into a book which has just succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. The book is truly an inspiration for all its readers, allowing them insight into the struggles and accomplishment of these 13 Irish women who used their wits and talent and ended up in high achieving careers across the arts, politics, business and community

We wish Ellen all the best with ‘Capital Women of influence’ in the future and definitely recommend it as Christmas stocking filler!!! The book is available in all good book stores around Dublin!

Dr Helen Russell from the ESRI spoke to us about the latest reportreleased by the ESRI and the Equality Authority entitled "A Woman'sPlace: Female Participation in the Irish Labour Market". The researchbehind the report investigated changes in women's participation in thelabour market between 1998 and 2007. Dr Russell, who co-authored thereport, outlined the main findings of the report, and said that thehighest level ever of women in Ireland are now in the workforce. Thereport also points to continuing significant gender imbalances incertain occupations traditionally seen as being female or male.
