BBC - Radio 4 Woman's Hour -Women and Time Travel

Liz Jensen's latest novel 'My Dirty Little Book of Stolen Time' features a reluctant time travelling heroine from nineteenth century Denmark trying to come to terms with life in the twenty-first. From Marge Piercey's 'Woman on the Edge of Time' to Audrey Niffenegger's 'The Time Traveller's Wife', women have embraced this science-fiction genre. Liz joins Jenni to explain why she decided to use time travel as the basis of her new book along with Dr Mark Bould, senior lecturer at the University of the West of England who has written extensively on the subject.
