Scottish entrepreneur Michelle Mone and Sex and The City star Kim Cattrall will be joining other influential women to guest edit BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.
Woman's Hour Takeover week runs from Monday September 14 to Friday September 18.
OBE-holder Mone, founder of the Ultimo lingerie brand, will appear on the Thursday and will look at a range of topics, among them: barriers to employment and business opportunities in deprived areas, mentoring, how the mind, body and career are linked and the psychology of weight loss and dating in the 21st Century for over 40s.
"I absolutely love Woman's Hour and it is a real honour to be asked to be guest editor, we have four amazing topics to discuss and I can't wait to get started," she said.
Cattrall, who will edit the Monday edition, is set to focus on choosing a life without children. She will also discuss themes of ageing, being single later in life and loss.
Other guest editors that week include include female genital mutilation (FGM) campaigner Nimco Ali, on the Tuesday, Bishop of Gloucester Rachel Treweek on Wednesday and children's author Dame Jacqueline Wilson on Friday.
Woman's Hour editor, Alice Feinstein, said: "Last year we had a great response to our guest editors and I'm really pleased that we've been able to secure five more inspiring women who will each bring a fresh outlook and ideas to the Woman's Hour team."
"Their knowledge and expertise on a diverse range of subjects offers a starting point for discussions which we hope will resonate with our listeners."
In 2014 other guest editors included Harry Potter author JK Rowling and Olympic athlete Dame Kelly Holmes.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
