BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Sweden: Are Women Living the Dream?

Jenni Murray presents a live broadcast from the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

Jenni Murray presents a live broadcast from the Swedish capital, Stockholm, to find out whether state-backed gender equality means women really are living the dream.

Sweden is a country that's rated top for gender equality, while its furniture finds space in our homes and our TV schedules make space for the latest Scandi-crime series,The Bridge. But what is life like for women in a country where shared parenting in the norm and childcare is unquestioningly subsidised by the state? Jenni Murray travels to the capital Stockholm to find out whether the egalitarian dream is all it's cracked up to be.

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Ruth Watts.

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