Jessie Ware; Tory Party Conference

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Jessie Ware; Tory Party Conference

Jessie Ware; women at the Tory conference; supporting SEN children into secondary school.

Looking at female activists at the Tory conference and the support of children with special needs as they settle into secondary school. Plus Jessie Ware sings live.

Jessie Ware sings her latest single, Say You Love Me. We talk to female activists at the Tory conference, and some of the women hoping to become Conservative MPs about what they hope to do this week to connect with women voters. Supporting children with special needs as they try to settle into secondary school.

We discuss comments in a family court that seem to suggest divorcing couples should avoid new relationships as they may impact on any financial settlement. And following our discussion of 'lad culture' at university and colleges we speak to women's officers from 10 and 20 years ago to see how things have changed.

Presenter: Jane Garvey
Producer: Jane Thurlow.

Highlights include former Australian PM Julia Gillard, contraceptives for men, and Ebola.

Jane Garvey with former Australian PM Julia Gillard; contraceptives for men; divorcing couples and relationships; why Ebola is affecting more women than men; and Jessie Ware.

Australia's first female leader Julia Gillard on the pressures of leading a nation, the now infamous misogyny speech directed at her opposition leader and her motivation in publicly dissecting such a turbulent period in her political life.

The invention of the contraceptive pill changed the world and women's place in it forever. We discuss whether the introduction of an equivalent contraceptive for men will have similarly far reaching consequences. We find out why it is being suggested that divorcing couples avoid new relationships until after their divorce settlement.

Has university life always been blighted by some form of misogyny? National Union of Student presidents from the nineties, noughties and current day give us their view.

How well do you really know your partner? That's the question at the heart of the much anticipated adaptation of Gillian Flynn's bestseller Gone Girl. So how much do we adapt our behaviour and edit our pasts in order to appeal to our lover? And Jessie Ware sings her new single Say You Love Me.

Presenter: Jane Garvey
Producer: Rabeka Nurmahomed
