BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Suffragette screenwriter Abi Morgan, Hollywood actress Geena Davis

The new film on the fight for women's votes, and Geena Davis on Thelma and Louise.

Suffragette screenwriter Abi Morgan and the fight for women's votes, Hollywood actress Geena Davis on Thelma and Louise and inequality on screen, and the Conservatives and women.

Suffragette - the film's screen writer, Abi Morgan, and its historical advisor, Professor Krista Cowman, on bringing the fight for women's right to vote powerfully to life on screen. 

Plus, Hollywood actress Geena Davis on her mission to address gender inequality in film and TV, and her role in that ultimate female road-trip movie, Thelma & Louise.

How well does the Conservative party connect with working women? As this year's party conference continues, Isabel Hardman of The Spectator and Rosie Campbell of Birkbeck, University of London, consider the evidence. 

And the suffragettes' importance today and their modern day torchbearers: Sam Smethers of the Fawcett Society and Hillary Margolis of Human Rights Watch discuss.

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Emma Wallace.

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