BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Asking for a pay rise; WW2 evacuees; Self-Harm treatment; Closet dramas

Jenni Murray and guests discuss tips and advice for negotiating a pay rise.

Tips and advice for negotiating a pay rise; a friendship over decades between WWII evacuees; why the treatment of self-harm patients in hospitals is so variable; closet dramas.

In a recent YouGov survey, it was found that 76% of women had never asked for a pay rise. As Christmas approaches, we discuss how best to negotiate for more money. Friendships don't always last but there is one that proved the test of time. Margaret and Kathleen Wright were just seven when they had to leave their parents in Southend to travel to Derbyshire as evacuees in the Second World War. We join them at a reunion. Why is the treatment of self harm patients so variable in hospitals? The very first play written by a woman in English was a translation of Euripides' Iphigenia, by Lady Jane Lumley in 1557. Why was it deemed unperformable?

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