News & EventsNEWS - India Knight, The Sunday Times: Having it all is a myth girls, so just make sure your daughters marry rich men After years of fighting, it is not the glass ceiling but working mothers’ dreams that have shattered. Is there a new way forward?When it comes to mothers and work, the question I would most like to be answered is: “Would you like your daughter to have a life like yours?” If you asked a man the same thing about his son, the answer would probably be: “Yes, give or take the odd thing.” But for mothers the case is usually different.

EXHIBITION - Imperial War Museum London presents an unmissable family exhibition based on the Trenches Handbook, one of the books by Terry Deary in the bestselling Horrible Histories series published by Scholastic Children's Books. This new interactive exhibition sets author Terry Deary's acerbic text and Martin Brown's evocative illustration alongside hands-on activities for all ages and items from the Imperial War Museum's unique First World War collections. Visitors can test their survival skills in an interactive gallery which explores the dire details of life in the blood and mud of the First World War trenches, from the British and German sides of the barbed wire. Find out more about how soldiers coped with foul food, legions of lice, gruesome gas, sickness and sores. Try on the curious clothing of the British and German soldiers, see real items used by soldiers in the trenches, climb through a mining tunnel and explore an officers' dugout. Peer into no man's land with a periscope, experience the terrible toilets, smell the stenches and splat the rats.
