Children forced to grow up too quickly; Italian women and austerity. With Jenni Murray.

What happens when a parent dies and a child is forced to grow up more quickly than expected? Plus, Italian women and austerity. Presented by Jenni Murray.

The film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" features a young girl who is forced to fend for herself when her father becomes ill and dies. The young actress, Quvenzhane Wallis, is now an Oscar nominee. We examine how children cope when they lose their parents at a young age. 

Italian women and how they have fared in the austerity cuts and who they will vote for in the next election?

Professor Sue Black talks about her work as a forensic anthropologist and what it's like to be on the Woman's Hour Power List.


Join Jenni Murray.
