Woman's Hour

Migraines affect afflict one in five women and half of all chronic migraines sufferers worry about losing their job. We hear about the impact they have on women's lives and the latest medical advances. "Suffragettes in trousers", we discuss the men who backed votes for women; Aviva Dautch reads her poetry, reflecting on love, loss and her late mother. And following the death of Rachael Bland, host of the podcast You, me and the Big C, we discuss how you can try to prepare your children for your own death.
