In this programme three married couples explain their views on women and employment, both at home and in the workplace. We hear from an aspirational pottery worker who plans to become an MP, an engineering apprentice who shares the same line of work as her husband, and a full-time mother of three who is happy to follow the views of her very traditional spouse.
