Weekend Woman's Hour: Nudinits, Rooney Mara and cook the perfect Lingurian Farinata
The knitted characters in Nudinits, Rooney Mara on playing Mary Magdalene, why money marketing aimed at women is sexist and Lily Bailey on her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
The Woman's Hour Craft Prize is on tour. Two crafters Lesley Jones of the Embroiders Guild and Sarah Simi the creator of the knitted village Nudinits tell us about their work.
We hear about Sally Challen who was jailed for 22 years for the murder of her husband, Richard. Earlier this month she was granted permission to appeal that sentence and she will use coercive control as a mitigating circumstance. We hear from her son David and from her solicitor Harriet Wistrich.
Rooney Mara tells us about her role as Mary Magdalene in a new film.
Is money marketing aimed at women sexist? We discuss with Anne Boden CEO and founder of Starling Bank and Otegha Uwagba, Brand Consultant and co-founder of Women Who.
Lily Bailey tells us what it's like to live with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and about why she wanted to write about it in her memoir Because We Are Bad.
We discuss a new booklet aimed at educating young people on normal female anatomy. It's called What is a Vulva Anyway. Dr Naomi Crouch, a consultant gynaecologist,tells us why she thinks an increasing number of girls are having labiaplasty surgery.
