Culottes. Women on Oil Rigs. Friends with an Ex's New Partner?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Can you be friends with an ex's new partner? Culottes - how to wear them and their place in fashion history. Working on an oil rig - why do so few women, and so few women engineers, take up a well-paid and exciting career? Ageing without children, why is no-one talking about it? And why are so many young women embarrassed to talk about gynaecological health?
