From Prime Minister Theresa May to Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and unsuccessful US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, double standards in the portrayal of male and female politicians are rife.

Speakers include: British Labour politician Dame Margaret Hodge MP; Conservative Member of the House of Lords Baroness Anne Jenkin; and Anniversary Professor of Politics at Birkbeck, Joni Lovenduski. Chaired by Ayesha Hazarika MBE, former political advisor.
