Highlights from the Woman's Hour week presented by Jane Garvey. As one of Margaret Thatcher's handbags goes under the auctioneer's hammer for charity, we look at how she used this iconic accessory and its place in fashion history. How should children be disciplined in schools? Are women in Liverpool taking the brunt of the jibes that used to be levelled at the girls from Essex and we look at the tyranny of children's parties. As speculation mounts that President Sarkozy's wife Carla Bruni is expecting a baby, we look at how this might effect his electoral fortunes. We hear about allegations of sexism at Ivy League universities and the little known short story by Daphne Du Maurier about a male sex doll.
