Women and the Temperance Movement
In 1832, the British temperance movement was founded in the North West of England when a local cheesemonger became the first person in the UK to sign the pledge and announce that he would abstain from alcohol. His name was Joseph Livesey and in future years he was to describe his home town of Preston as ‘the Jerusalem of the teetotal movement’. Nowadays, that 19th century temperance movement has an austere, life-denying image. But a new exhibition in Manchester seeks to challenge that view. At the height of its popularity, the temperance movement had over 6 million members in the UK – half of whom were children – and women had a big part to play in trying to persuade the country not to fall victim to the ‘Demon Drink’. Anne Marie McAllister, the curator of the new exhibition - Demon Drink? Temperance and the Working Class – joins Jenni to discuss women and the temperance movement.

John and Penny Clough
In July 2010, Jane Clough was stabbed to death by her ex-partner Jonathan Vass. At the time, he was facing 9 charges of raping her but once he'd been given a life sentence for murder, the rape charges were put on file. Following a campaign by Jane’s parents, the Director of Public Prosecutions Kier Starmer yesterday issued changes to DPP guidelines so that where there is a rape in context to a murder, the rape can be prosecuted. This is not the first time that John and Penny Clough have taken on the legal establishment. In February this year, their campaign to change the bail law resulted in the House of Lords backing a legal amendment that means the CPS can now challenge bail decisions. Jonathan Vass was on bail at the time of Jane’s murder - despite the fact that he had a history of domestic violence. John and Penny join Jenni to talk about their daughter, their successful campaigning and about the battles they are still fighting in her name.

Sex After Childbirth
In those chaotic weeks following the birth of a baby, there are many things making demands on a mother's time and attention. So, in the melee of sleepless nights, leaking breasts and nappy changing, just how important is a sex life? Midwives usually say women can start having sex again at six weeks but is this realistic? And is it fair for a man to expect sex when his partner is feeling exhausted, over-weight and sore? To discuss the topic, Woman’s Hour has teamed up with Radio 5Live’s Men’s Hour. Jenni talks to sex and relationship coach Rachel Foux. They are joined by Sally Overhead (who has five children under the age of six)and by Valerie O’Riordan (whose daughter is 15 months old). Men’s Hour presenter Tim Samuels will be talking to young dads on Sunday and he’ll also be joined by Dr Mark Hamilton.
