In part one, we met the literary archetype of the Everyman, and asked what might have happened to his female counterpart, the Everywoman. Now, Sarah Hall continues her search for Everywoman, ultimately asking if it's something we even want to see in our culture? We hear from Katherine Rundell about how gender stereotypes begin in children's books and how we might avoid them, ask Costa Prize-winning Novelist Andrew Miller whether men should be frightened of (or praised for) writing female characters, and Bernardine Evaristo discusses her Booker Prize-winning novel, 'Girl, Woman, Other' -does this point the way to a new future for Everywoman? Presenter: Sarah Hall Producer: Jessica treen
