George Sand: The French woman writer who outsold Victor Hugo

In this edition, we explore the creative brilliance of French author, George Sand as we mark the 150th anniversary of her death. Annette Young speaks to UK author and poet Fiona Sampson, whose latest book is about the trailblazing, cross-dressing writer who went on to inspire the Brontë sisters. Also, parents in Northern Ireland who experience a miscarriage are now entitled to two weeks of paid leave with other parts of the UK expected to follow. Plus, after sending shockwaves through countless creative industries, the #MeToo movement is now resonating within the world of jazz in France.
