Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Marriage certificates - are they sexist, outdated, or just a piece of paper? Family historian and record specialist Audrey Collins explains the law, and Caroline Criado-Perez tells us why it needs to change. Plus Tourette's and children - we hear from families living with Tourette's on how it also affects children, who can develop the condition from six or seven years of age. Football coach Pia Sundage - as Portugal's Helena Costa is set to become the highest profile female manager of a European men's team, we hear from one of the very best women coaches in the game. Julia Gibson Cranch - the mental health therapist talks about her work helping children and young people with personality disorder. And Eleanor Marx - the daughter of communism's Karl Marx, dedicated campaigner and feminist. Biographer Rachel Holmes describes her extraordinary life.
