BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, What's wrong with being 'girly'?; The reality of part-time work on low pay; Zoe Williams on modern parenting

What's wrong with being 'girly'? Plus Zoe Williams on the madness of modern parenting.

What's wrong with being 'girly'? Plus life in low paid part-time work, Zoe Williams on the madness of modern parenting, and Judi Dench's 80th birthday celebrations.

What are the realities of part-time working at low pay? Can you still get promoted when you're part time? Jane Garvey is joined by Senior Equality Policy Officer with the TUC, Sally Brett and the Executive Director of Adnams, Karen Hester to find out what is it really like on flexible hours. Dame Judi Dench turns 80 today; we celebrate with a Woman's Hour Archive interview from 1967. Chef Margarita Arronte cooks the perfect enchiladas. Zoe William's discusses her new book "The Madness of Modern Parenting", which explores why today's parents make such an almighty fuss about everything from breastfeeding to education, and we ask what's wrong with our daughters wanting to be 'girly'?

Producer: Laura Northedge.

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