Sir Cliff Richard

Women in business: Work life balance

Many entrepreneurs set up their own companies in the hope of having more control over their lives … only to find themselves working round the clock, seven days a week. So, how do you achieve a good work-life balance when you're running your own company? Jane is joined by Juliette Joffe, co-founder of the Giraffe chain of restaurants, and Julie Hall who set up business website and networking group, womenunlimited.

Suffering in Silence – Why don’t more women seek help for postnatal depression?

A report from the charity, 4Children, says that a chronic lack of awareness of the symptoms of postnatal depression is leading to as many as 35,000 women suffering in silence each year. Forty nine percent of women affected did not seek any professional treatment at all. Thirty-three said that they were too scared to tell anyone because they were afraid of what might happen to themselves or their child. Jane is joined by Dr Clare Gerada, Chair of the Royal College of GPs and Tessa Baradon, from the parent/infant programme at The Anna Freud Centre, London.

The Kettle

The Science Museum in London has a gallery 'The Secret Life of the Home' which is filled with domestic appliances from all eras that are now standard in our homes. As part of a series looking at what these gadgets have meant for women’s lives, Judi Herman visited the gallery in the company of the curator, Helen Peavitt to look at early electric kettles.
