Presented by Jenni Murray. Actor Harriet Walter on her latest role in Jacobean tragedy, and women who swear - is it more offensive to hear bad language from a woman than a man?

Presented by Jenni Murray.

Harriet Walter has been celebrated for her roles on stage as Hedda Gabler, Beatrice and Cleopatra. Now she's taking on the role of the wealthy widow Livia in the Jacobean tragedy "Women Beware Women".

Pre-menstrual symptoms are experienced by many women in varying degrees of severity. One organisation believes some some GPs are still not taking the condition seriously enough.

Agony aunt and writer Bel Mooney on how she changed her life following the break-up of her 35 year marriage.

Is it more offensive when a woman swears? Are expletives from the mouths of women more shocking than from men, or is there a double standard here?
