The Beauty of Breasts

Women talk about the ideal of 'the perfect breast' and how they feel about their own

Big breasts were once associated with working class women and witches – so why do we now fetishise them in UK society, and is this a global trend?

Also on the programme: On the bicentenary of her death, Mary Wollstonecraft's role as 'the first English feminist' is discussed. The topical diary focuses on a woman fleeing the oppressive regime of the Taliban.
