Weekend Woman's Hour: Chrissie Hynde, Kate Hudson, Networking
Presented by Jane Garvey. Including Chrissie Hynde on her first solo album; Kate Hudson on her film Wish I Was Here; missing out on maternity care; and choosing a secondary school.
Chrissie Hynde: 35 years since forming The Pretenders, she tells us about her first solo album - and what she thinks of singers who flaunt their bodies to promote their work. Madeleine Holt tells us why she hopes her organisation Meet the Parents will stop decades old rumours scuppering school choices.
Kate Hudson on how her new film, Wish I Was Here, made her re-examine her own family relationships. Janet Fyle, midwife and advisor to the Royal College of Midwives and Professor Marian Knight from Oxford University on how maternity care can be improved to stop disadvantaged women missing out on the best care.
As the film, The Riot Club, hits the cinemas - how much do old boys and, more rarely, old girl networks help their members get on? Julia Hobsbawm from Editorial Intelligence and is visiting professor in networking in two business schools and Tanya Gold from The Times discuss. Chief Superintendent Mike Gallagher of the Metropolitan Police and Steph Morgan who has now retired from her position as Leicester's Assistant Chief Constable discuss the difficulties of being open about sexuality in the police force.
And a "climate of coercion" in some young heterosexual relationships...are some young women being forced into sexual acts they don't want to do? And is that partly because there are still some things we can't talk about?
