Margaret Thatcher
When will we see another woman Prime Minister?

On May 4th it will be 30 years since Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s first female Prime Minister. Three decades on, how close are we to seeing another woman in the top job? Julia Hartley Brewer, Political Editor of the Sunday Express and Gaby Hinsliff, Political Editor of The Observer, join Jenni to discuss what Margaret Thatcher did to promote women, who the future contenders for the role could be, and why more women are not rising to the top in politics.
