LDNVictimsComm Magdalen Berns, hugely influential lesbian feminist, died this morning. What a shame that *Woman’s* Hour didn’t think she was even worth mentioning. In fact no discussion at all of one of the most pressing concerns for women and girls in the Uk - the rise of transactivism.

Wonderful thank you for sharing your joyful story. Took me away from the mundane to imagined new adventures!

LDNVictimsComm Loved listening to the best day segment and what the photo symbolised. Pure joy!

Tanika_Gupta LyricHammer Can you tell me the name of the song and performer that was played I think during the Ibsen piece. Something like Nomad Song?
