About this episode

Leading lawyer, wife of a former British Prime Minister and committed campaigner for women's rights, Cherie Blair says she won’t wait for her granddaughters to become grandmothers to see equal opportunities. The first person in her family to attend university, she talks about being passed over for a job because it was earmarked for a boy (later, he became her husband), why Downing Street can be lonely, and explains why she considers Hillary Clinton a mentor.
