The voices of the women involved in the suffragette movement, shared parental rights in Australia, Lady Maisery, and post-natal depression and its impact on fathers.

Told in their own voices we hear the stories of some of the women involved in the suffragette movement. This week the government announced that it wants to introduce the idea of shared parenting after separation so that every child has a meaningful relationship with both parents. It's a system that was introduced in Australia five years, we'll be finding out how it has worked there. The female folk trio, Lady Maisery who are resurrecting the dying art of diddling sing live in the studio. As many as one in ten women suffer with post natal depression but what impact does it have on the father. We speak to one man who wants to bring partners of affected women together.
