Weekend Woman's Hour: Anita Dobson, Jodi Picoult
Jane Garvey presents highlights from the Woman's Hour week, including a discussion on Marilyn Monroe, and why Danish women top the polls for being the happiest in Europe.
Anita Dobson talks about her part in the new musical film London Road based on the true story of the murder of five women in Ipswich in 2006. We may all love to gossip but what impact does it have on us both in the short and long term and how is social media influencing who we talk about?
It's 70 years since the Pippi Longstocking books were first published in Sweden, Francesca Simon and Julie Eccleshare discuss why she's so loved by adults and children today. Following a phone in earlier in the week we hear listener experiences of IVF and making the decision to stop if it's not working?
The best-selling author, Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha Van Leer talk about the new book they've written together - Between the Lines. Danish women top the polls for being happiest in Europe. We try and find out their secret. And Marilyn Monroe: sex symbol and feminist - Karen Krizanovich and Jacqueline Rose on discuss the screen icon.
