Weekend Woman's Hour with Jenni Murray. Cat Deeley talks about her new TV show. We look at the history of women in the American Civil War and ask if freezing your eggs to prolong fertility is a con trick? Last year Kay Gilderdale was tried for the attempted murder of her daughter, Lynn. She had pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of assisting suicide, but was freed and she talks to Jenni about their story. And we talk to Muslim Shanna Bukhari from Blackburn who's contending for the Miss Universe GB title next month.
