Women with Big Bulls, LGBT Politicians, Miss, Mrs, Ms or Mx?

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Women with Big Bulls, LGBT Politicians, Miss, Mrs, Ms or Mx?

What's in a title - do you call yourself Miss, Mrs, Ms or Mx?

What are our children watching on TV? Do you call yourself Miss, Mrs, Ms or Mx? What is drawing women into the pedigree cattle ring? Plus bestselling author Rachel Joyce.

This weekend in London thousands marched to mark Pride, the annual LGBT festival and parade. It's fifty years since the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, decriminalising homosexual acts between men over 21 in England & Wales. Angela Eagle was the first MP to come out as a lesbian in office. We talk to her about LGBT rights.

Are you a Miss, Mrs, Ms or Mx? The woman who popularised the use of Ms in the 1960s, Sheila Michaels, has just died. We explore the history of women's titles.

Jane discusses what children today are watching on TV with Ann Wood, founder of Ragdoll productions, and creator of Teletubbies and Jeanette Steemers from King's College, London.

Across rural Britain this is agricultural show season and no show is complete without its parades of cattle. Sarah Swadling has been finding out what is drawing women into the pedigree cattle ring.

Bestselling novelist, Rachel Joyce talks about her latest book, The Music Show and the healing power of music.
