Let The Sunshine In

Libby Purves promises that next week's Midweek will feature "the man who wrote Hair", although we may be grateful that radio listeners will be unable to tell whether he, she or anyone else is conducting the proceedings in the nude. So, will anyone ask this person about the song Pederasty? What do you think?

A few minutes later, Woman's Hour was rather amusingly reduced to discussing the fortieth anniversary of The Female Eunuch without the presence of Germaine Greer. There will have been a reason for that. But whatever it was, it did not spare Greer any questions about a much more recent book, The Boy. No one would ever have asked her about that, anyway.
