Weekend Woman's Hour: Madonna at 60, Travelling alone, Breadwinners

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Weekend Woman's Hour: Madonna at 60, Travelling alone, Breadwinners

Madonna at 60, solo travel, and being the main breadwinner.

Highlights from the Woman's Hour week, including Madonna turning 60, what it is like to go travelling as a lone woman, and are you embarrassed to be the main breadwinner?

As Madonna turns 60 we look at her influence on women in the music industry. 

Women may have to quit jobs to fill caring roles post Brexit - that's according to a Department of Health response to the Migration Advisory Committee. Is it a sexist assumption that women should do the caring, or just a statement of fact? 

Are you embarrassed to be the main breadwinner in your home? Why are women still worried about making more money than their male partner? T

Who are the women in Heavy Metal that we should know about? Plus, what do you do when your child favours one parent over the other? The pros and cons of solo travel. And a look at the new play Home, I'm Darling - what would life be like for a 21st century couple to live as if it was the 1950s?

Presented by Jane Garvey
