BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, 21/05/2010

Presented by Jenni Murray. The unrealistic portrayal of women on Italian television.

Presented by Jenni Murray. The portrayal of women on Italian TV; the perils of cheap fertility drugs; and Welsh suffragette Lady Rhondda and the feminist journal 'Time and Tide'.

Presented by Jenni Murray.

Film maker Lorella Zanardi joins Jenni to talk about her campaign to see 'real' women on Italian television. 

Ninety years ago this month, the magazine 'Time and Tide' was published for the first time. A ground-breaking political and cultural journal that was the mouthpiece of the feminist movement during the inter war years. 

The number of multiple births is rising in this country and Professor Bill Ledger claims that the problem is being caused in part by the liberal use of cheap fertility drugs. He discusses his concerns with Jenni.

Can family dynamics be affected by education? Do those who haven't been to university feel left behind by offspring or siblings who have?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
