BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Feminism and the family, Arab women and sport

Feminism in family life, and the Olympic footballer Kelly Smith. With Jenni Murray.

What role does feminism play in family life? Plus, the Olympic footballer Kelly Smith. Celebrating, informing and entertaining women, presented by Jenni Murray.

Viv Groskop talks to Jenni about whether it's possible to pursue your feminist beliefs within your own family. 400 years since the Pendle Witch Trials we visit the area to find out why 10 women were hanged for witchcraft and go to the site of a cottage where the 'witches' were said to have met. Olympic footballer Kelly Smith tells Jenni about her career and her record as the UK's highest scoring woman player, and after the Olympics, what is the legacy for Arab women and sport? Presented by Jenni Murray.

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