Laura Dockrill writer and illustrator, on the text her mother sent her when she thought her plane was going to crash
Joanna Moorhead was at a party when she found out that an estranged cousin she had never met was in fact Leonora Carrington - a famous artist of the Surrealist movement. Joanna tells Jenni about how she travelled to Mexico City to find, meet, and form a bond with the incredible Leonora, whose life is explored in Joanna's new book.
Gun ownership by women is increasing in the United States. Joyce, an African-American woman who lives in an all-white area in Louisiana, explains why she has chosen to carry a gun for self-defence.
