Images that challenge sentimental views of motherhood. Photographers Elinor Carucci and Ana Casa Broda talk about why they've chosen to portray themselves and their children in this way. Post-cancer breast reconstruction - making the decision. Women share their stories in a series of newly launched films. 85 year-old author Lore Segal discusses her latest novel which tackles fears of dementia, the unravelling of minds, and the impact on families.
