Presented by Jane Garvey. The pro-democracy protests in Syria continue despite the violent response by security forces. We look at the role women are playing in the movement. As the creator of Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier became the favourite novelist of put-upon wives worldwide. But the recent discovery of a short story about a life-size male doll, written when she was only 20, may oblige her readers to re-evaluate her legacy. What do you do if your child decides they'd rather live with their other parent? And we hear about Henrietta Moraes, the muse to Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, and Maggi Hambling.
