The Paula Principle, Mental Health First-Aiders, My Brilliant Friend

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

The Paula Principle is a new book which claims that women aren't getting the career success they deserve despite doing well academically. We speak to the author, Tom Schuller, about why this is. Almost all work places have a First Aider, but what about a Mental Health First Aider? We find out who they are and how they can help identify staff with mental health problems. We have the fourth in our series about Princess Diana's dresses, which are now on display at the V&A. And we speak to playwright April De Angelis, who has adapted Elena Ferrante's novels for the stage. She talks to Jenni about My Brilliant Friend which is now on at the Rose Theatre in Kingston.
