Bias against women's voices

From Word of Mouth • BBC Radio 4

Jane Setter talks to Michael Rosen about negative attitudes to vocal traits seen as exclusively female, from vocal fry to higher pitch. Can men really not talk in a sexy voice? And why did Margaret Thatcher change hers?

Produced for BBC Audio Bristol by Sally Heaven, in partnership with the Open University
