Woman's Hour - Weekend Woman's Hour

Weekend Woman's Hour with Jane Little. We hear from social workers about their day-to-day jobs and how they feel about the pressures they are under in the wake of the Baby P case. As India goes to the polls, Urvashi Butalia, founder of the first women's press in India, and journalist Sonia Faleiro join Jane to discuss the important issues for women voters and the part gender plays in the country's voting habits. Alex Bilmes, features director for GQ, and columnist Jan Moir discuss the notion that women can't be nice to each other any more. In an article in Vogue magazine, Alex claims in the last ten years he has seen a marked increase in women griping about their female friends. Following a special edition of the programme on raising teenagers, we hear from two teens who have not only managed to traverse the potential teenage pitfalls relatively unscathed, but who also want to help others by changing things for the better. With contributions from listeners who contributed to a Woman's Hour phone-in on the subject. And we remember the life and music of Dusty Springfield.
