In Turkey, a new civil code recognises men and women as equals, so women are no longer required to seek their husband's permission to go out to work. The reforms are being heralded as a landmark victory in the battle of the sexes - but have also stirred up some controversy, as the show discovers. Also on the programme: Why one Russian woman spent many years in the gulag for love of a Scottish soldier - and is there hope for a belated happy ending?
