9:07 AE Hotchner.

Ernest Hemingway lived big and loved big.

And for 14 years, AE Hotchner had a front row seat to that life lived large.

As a friend and confidant, Hotchner shared adventures  in France, Italy, Cuba and Spain, where, Hemingway, considered one of the most important writers of his generation, had his friend pretend to be a  matador while he played manager.  Hemingway married 4 times and took his own life in 1961.

Before his death, he entrusted another story to his friend in taped conversations in the last years of his life.

It's the story of his greatest love and greatest loss. AE Hotchner has written before about Papa Hemingway, but did not feel like he could tell the full story until now. 

His new book is called Hemingway in Love: His Own Story. It begins with the story of how Hotchner and Ernest Hemingway first met..  .. when he was sent to Cuba to ask Hemingway, legend as he was  to write an article for Cosmopolitan magazine... in the spring of 1948, a fateful undertaking that nearly 70 years later, Hotchner still remembers well and shares his memories with Noelle.

10:06 Dr Helen Pankhurst

19 years after women in New Zealand won the right to vote, British women would need deeds, not words to get this  fundamental right in the early part of the 20th century. 

Suffragette leader  Emmeline Pankhurst encouraged dramatic deeds like Arson, smashing windows, burning postboxes.

The story of their struggle is now told in a movie released this week called Suffragette, staring Carry Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter and Meryl  Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst.

In the recreated offices of the  Women's and Social and Political Union in London, there is 4 second shot in the film of a woman  planning demonstrations.

She is Dr Helen Pankhurst, the granddaughter of Sylvia Pankhurst and Great Grand Daughter of Emmeline and she joins Noelle to discuss the legacy of her famous relatives.
