With Jenni Murray. This Sunday is Mothers Day and Woman's Hour takes a step back to consider the whole nature of the mother-daughter relationship. It can be the closest of all or fraught with tension - it can even be both. How do we think about the legacy of our mothers and what expectations do we have for our own daughters? What is the special nature of the bond between a mother and a daughter? Joining Jenni to consider the extraordinary strengths and the potential problems of the relationship are the novelist Olivia Lichtenstein, Sam Roddick, the daughter of Anita and herself the mother of a daughter, Professor Kath and Dr Sophie Woodward, sociologist mother and daughter who have just published a book - Why Feminism Matters - together, the journalist Yasmeen Khan and the psychologist Laverne Antrobus.
