Anorexia and bone health, Profile of Greta Thunberg, Susanna Hoffs

Dr Laura Flexer, a GP, emailed Woman&rsquo;s Hour to ask the programme to talk about bone health, especially that of teenage girls with anorexia. Should young women with eating disorders be given oestrogen to boost bone density and growth, if not for now, for the future? Dr Flexer joins Nuala to talk about her research, along with Professor Sandeep Ranote, an expert clinical media spokesperson for the eating disorders charity BEAT and a consultant paediatric psychiatrist for eating disorders in the NHS.<br /> Last Friday, climate activist Greta Thunberg took to twitter to mark her final school strike for climate and to reflect on the movement she began 5 years ago. Since then, Thunberg has inspired millions of children around the globe to join the Fridays for Future movement, addressed world leaders at the United Nations&rsquo; climate action summit and become a household name for her activism. We wanted to take this opportunity to look back at the impact of Greta&rsquo;s work so far and cast forward to the future. Guardian climate journalist Fiona Harvey and climate activist Mikaela Loach join Nuala.<br /> Susanna Hoffs is a solo artist and a founding member of the Bangles. Blending &rsquo;60s garage rock, harmonies, and jangly guitars, they became a seminal band of the 1980s with a string of hits including &lsquo;Manic Monday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Walk Like an Egyptian&rsquo; and &lsquo;Eternal Flame.&rsquo; She&rsquo;s since written and recorded for and appeared in the Austin Powers movies. She joins Nuala to discuss her career and her first novel &ndash; This Bird Has Flown &ndash; described as "part British romcom, part Jane Eyre" &ndash; which gives a glimpse inside the music business.<br /> <br /> Presenter: Nuala McGovern<br /> Producer: Lucinda Montefiore
