Jenni Murray talks to Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert.

Jenni Murray talks to Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert. Plus, discussion of female genital mutilation in the UK, and the cententary of the chainmakers strike.

Presented by Jenni Murray. The author of "Eat Pray Love", Elizabeth Gilbert, talks to Jenni about being played by Julia Roberts in the movie of her book; and the stress of trying to follow up such a phenomenal success. In the UK an estimated 24,000 girls under the age of 15 are at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM). We hear about a group of schoolgirls from ethnic minority communities in Bristol have made a documentary drama to highlight the practice of FGM. And to mark its centenary, Jenni discusses the women chain makers' strike of 1910 and its leader, Mary MacArthur.
