Doro on women in heavy metal, health inequality, The Bell Jar, Voice and Vote

Sylvia Plath documentary 'Life inside the Bell Jar', Power List: women in heavy metal, mental health inequality, Voice and Vote exhibition, and the abortion vote in Argentina.

We hear about the vote against liberalising abortion in Argentina and what it means. The Woman's Hour Power List is looking at women in music this year. Today we ask who are the powerful women in, what is assumed to be a very male genre, heavy metal. As part of Woman's Hour's look at health inequality this week, we look at mental health and middle age today. A new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 2 documentary explores the significance of Sylvia Plath's novel The Bell Jar, we discuss the continuing importance of her life and work. And, Jenni takes a tour round the 'Voice and Vote: Women's Place in Parliament' exhibition.
