Uncovering Your True Identity

Everywoman

Available for over a year

In South Africa in the 1950s and 60s, many babies were adopted because their parents were in illegal inter-racial relationships. One of these babies, now an adult, describes how she found out by accident that she'd been adopted. Also on the programme: The 'disease to please' - is it just a female affliction and what can we do to cure it? And why stage actresses in America are taking up arms as 'female Cavaliers.'
