BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Sharleen Spiteri, Lynne Segal and Self Harm Scars

Sharleen Spiteri from Texas, Lynne Segal and self harm scars. With Jenni Murray.

Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri sings their new single, Lynne Segal discusses her 1994 book Straight Sex, and Mary Hamilton talks about her self harm scars. With Jenni Murray.

Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri joins Jenni to sing their new single, Start a Family, and talk about what it's like now that the band is 25 years old. Having experienced success with the band and as a solo artist, what does she plan to do next?
Lynne Segal's 1994 book 'Straight Sex: Rethinking the Politics of Pleasure' argues whether heterosexual sex is inherently damaging to women. As her book is reissued, we ask how she feels 21 years later.
And, what happens to the scars when a self harmer gets better? We hear from Mary Hamilton on how she feels about her self harm scars, years after the event.

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Corinna Jones.

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