With Jenni Murray. Election response: Jenni speaks to newly-elected women MPs.

Presented by Jenni Murray. Election response: Jenni is joined by two women who are heading to Westminster for the first time. They're among nearly 150 new MP's who will take their seats after this election. She'll be asking them what they're expecting of the new Parliament and what they think the next five years might hold for women.

Mothers on stage - how she's been portrayed in drama from the Middle Ages to Modern Times. How did the Renaissance and the Reformation change her, and how did female writers differ in how they represented mothers in their plays?

Corkscrews, bride grooms, ears and tongues - welcome to the world of pasta. The list of shapes, and their wonderful names, is endless. If you don't know your farfalle from you fusilli, then join Jenni for Woman's Hour at 10 o'clock.
