Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

The Commander of the base at the British Antarctic Survey, Agnieszka Fryckowska, talks to Jane Garvey about life on the ice shelf and surviving two months without sunshine. We hear the latest in a campaign calling to end the "outdated and manifestly unfair" laws of succession. The Countess of Clancarty joins Jane in the studio. NICE has approved the use of Botox injections as a treatment for urinary incontinence. How significant is this new treatment and who is it most likely to help? A new book by Joanna Strober argues that couples need to share housework 50:50 in order for women to succeed in their careers. And what are teenage girls reading?
