She will be joined by Mary Berry, judge on The Great British Bake Off; soccer player Eniola Aluko; poet Jackie Kay; and novelist Sunetra Gupta as guest editors during the Woman's Hour "takeover week."

Jolie, who is married to actor Brad Pitt, is the special envoy for UNHR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees).

Woman's Hour editor Alice Feinstein said each guest editor will bring "their own curiosity and unique insights," BBC reported. She said they will also share "their personal experiences on a series of topics".
