Natural Childbirth Backlash, Gender-Neutral Clothing, Jill Leovy
Woman's HourAvailable for over a year
Is natural childbirth being pursued at too high a cost for women and their babies? Jenni hears from both sides of the debate; as Selfridges launches a new project called 'Agender,' which includes a gender neutral clothing range, we ask what this says about the future of fashion as we know it? Jenni speaks to fashion journalist Kenya Hunt; as part of BBC News School Report 2015 we hear from 13 year old Caitlin, on what it's like to have a little sister who is autistic; and Jenni talks to Jill Leovy, the author of Ghettoside. Presenter: Jenni Murray Producer: Sarah Crawley.
