What do women think about the election? Plus Joan Armatrading and child-free holidays.

What do women think about the general election? And why is the NHS is their main concern? Plus Joan Armatrading and child-free holidays. Presented by Jane Garvey.

We reveal the findings of new research the programme commissioned into what women make of British politics and we hear a group of women in South London discuss politics and politicians. And as the NHS is the top area of concern for women voters we hear from GP Catherine Glass and Jennifer Dixon from The Health Foundation.
Joan Armatrading, the first black female singer-songwriter to gain prominence on the British music scene, on finding inspiration and making it in the music industry on her own terms.
Should a woman in her 20s be given a sterilisation on the NHS if she has decided that she never wants children? We discuss.
Zarqa Nawaz is a British -Canadian writer and broadcaster. She tells us how she's managed to mix comedy and issues in Islamic culture. From childhood Roma Agrawal dreamt of building sky scrapers she tells us how she ended up designing the top of the London Shard. Beverley Turner and Siobhan McNally on going on holiday without children.
