Woman's Hour
Woman's Lab: Body Image
Woman's Lab is a place where ideas are tested. Presenters Gemma Cairney, Gia Milinovich and Michelle Dewberry take up the challenge of tackling body image, over three days on the beaches of sunny Margate. They meet real women, businesses, diet and fitness industry professionals and body experts. Can they finally crack how we can be happier with our bodies? Gemma Cairney goes on a bohemian adventure, inspired by taking her clothes off in a life drawing class. She tries to convince the women of Margate to do the same. Gia Milinovich's scientific research takes her on a journey through muscle gyms, bum toning machines and mindfulness. Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry struggles with a challenge that's not about making money, but spurned on by her own emotional relationship with her body, she creates a piece of installation art. Will the women of Margate think they're onto something?
