Weekend Woman's Hour: Clare Balding on the Boat Race; End of a Relationship; Body Beautiful
Clare Balding on the Women's Boat Race making sporting history. And mourning the end of a relationship: how long is too long? Presented by Jane Garvey.
For the first time the Women's Boat Race will be rowed on the same day and place as the men's. Clare Balding will be discussing what it means for women's sport. Why are rock hard abs and perfectly toned triceps seen as the perfect body shape? Writer and classicist Natalie Haynes on why the ancient Greeks were just as obsessed with the body beautiful as we are today. How Jennifer Teege discovered by chance that her grandfather was the Nazi war criminal Amon Goeth and how she's come to terms with her inheritance. Two ballet dancers tell us what it's like to cope with how pregnancy changes their bodies and their ability to dance. Virginia Ironside on the role of the 21st century grandmother and how it's changed. When a relationship breaks down, how long is it acceptable to mourn its end?
