BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Natural Childbirth Backlash, Gender-Neutral Clothing, Jill Leovy

A possible backlash against natural childbirth, plus author Jill Leovy. With Jenni Murray.

Discussion on a possible backlash against natural childbirth, author of Ghettoside Jill Leovy, gender-neutral clothing and having a little sister with autism. With Jenni Murray.

Is natural childbirth being pursued at too high a cost for women and their babies? Jenni hears from both sides of the debate; as Selfridges launches a new project called 'Agender,' which includes a gender neutral clothing range, we ask what this says about the future of fashion as we know it? Jenni speaks to fashion journalist Kenya Hunt; as part of BBC News School Report 2015 we hear from 13 year old Caitlin, on what it's like to have a little sister who is autistic; and Jenni talks to Jill Leovy, the author of Ghettoside. 
Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Sarah Crawley.

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