Episode 5

Olivia O'Leary presents the series which brings together two people who have had profound and similar experiences, to hear their individual stories and compare the long-term effects on each of their lives.

Olivia talks to two personal columnists, Katherine Whitehorn, who wrote for The Observer, and Liz Jones, who writes for You magazine. They discuss when getting personal is too personal, how their friends and families react to being written about and what the changing face of columns in the last 50 years tells us about women's lives.
