BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Men and body image; Emilia Fox and Emma Fielding; Talking about suicide

How do men feel about their body image, and how does it affect their self-esteem?

Emilia Fox and Emma Fielding talk about a new play about feminism. And we hear how men feel about their body image and how it affects their self-esteem. Presented by Jane Garvey.

Jane Garvey is joined by the actors Emilia Fox and Emma Fielding to talk about their roles in a new play about the choices and regrets of a stay at home mum and a successful academic. We discuss how men feel about their body image and how it affects their self-esteem. In the first of a three part series we hear from mothers of disabled children: Hannah talks about the challenges of combining paid work with caring for a disabled child. And when four young people take their own lives everyday, we ask how we could have a better conversations with them about the subject of suicide.

Presenter: Jane Garvey
Producer: Lucinda Montefiore
Editor: Ruth Watts.
