Presented by Jenni Murray. The author of "Eat Pray Love", Elizabeth Gilbert, talks to Jenni about being played by Julia Roberts in the movie of her book; and the stress of trying to follow up such a phenomenal success. In the UK an estimated 24,000 girls under the age of 15 are at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM). We hear about a group of schoolgirls from ethnic minority communities in Bristol have made a documentary drama to highlight the practice of FGM. And to mark its centenary, Jenni discusses the women chain makers' strike of 1910 and its leader, Mary MacArthur.
