Backstage before a performance

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Backstage before a performance

We join folk musician Kate Rusby backstage as she prepares for her Christmas tour.

We join folk musician Kate Rusby backstage as she prepares for her Christmas tour of the UK. Plus will there be more women at Westminster after next year's General Election?

At the moment, just over a fifth of MPs are women. How might that that change in 2015? We've been looking at how the main political parties at Westminster are trying to get more women to stand - and what help they offer them in getting selected and elected. Today, it's the Conservatives.

As a part of our series on domestic abuse, Jenni Murray visits staff and users of the Gaia Centre in London. Funded by Lambeth Council and run by Refuge, it is referred to as a gendered violence centre and seen as a potential model for future centres. 

And Child psychologist Lavern Antrobus will be talking about some of the issues raised by you following yesterday's discussion on grandparents, seeing and maintaining contact with their grandchildren.

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