Weekend Woman's Hour: Julia Gillard, Jessie Ware

Duration: 58 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Available for over a year

Australia's first female leader Julia Gillard on the pressures of leading a nation, the now infamous misogyny speech directed at her opposition leader and her motivation in publicly dissecting such a turbulent period in her political life.

The invention of the contraceptive pill changed the world and women's place in it forever. We discuss whether the introduction of an equivalent contraceptive for men will have similarly far reaching consequences. We find out why it is being suggested that divorcing couples avoid new relationships until after their divorce settlement.

Has university life always been blighted by some form of misogyny? National Union of Student presidents from the nineties, noughties and current day give us their view.

How well do you really know your partner? That's the question at the heart of the much anticipated adaptation of Gillian Flynn's bestseller Gone Girl. So how much do we adapt our behaviour and edit our pasts in order to appeal to our lover? And Jessie Ware sings her new single Say You Love Me.
