Stevie Nicks; Women in Rwandan elections; Infertility funding

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Stevie Nicks on her world tour with Fleetwood Mac and being reunited on stage with bandmate Christine McVie. Rwanda leads the world in the percentage of women in its parliament. As the country goes to the polls, we ask whether women might maintain their hold and how successful they are in influencing government policy. Columnist Cristina Odone and Claire Lewis Jones of Infertility Network UK discuss the funding of fertility treatment ahead of Radio 4's Costing the NHS programme. Why writer Al Smith decided to base this week's drama, Life in the Freezer, on the preparations of his mother for her death from ovarian cancer.
