Elaine Grand hosted this program that focused on issues important to women.
Her success on the public affairs show, Tabloid, gave her the chance to host her own program. While the bulk of the show dealt with domestic issues typical of the 1950s, the show also explored adoption, raising teenagers and health care for the elderly. Grand went on to work for the BBC.
