‘Never mind Brexit - who won Legsit?’ is on the front page of the Daily Mail newspaper. The picture is of Nicola Sturgeon and Theresa May following their meeting yesterday.
Catherine Mayer, co-founder of the Women's Equality Party and author of Attack of the Fifty Foot Women: How Gender Equality Can Save the World! says this highlights how women aren’t fairly represented in the workplace, politics or the media.
Angela Epstein, Daily Telegraph Columnist says "why shouldn’t we use our clothes to advance the way we are?" and that both women have undergone transformations after realising how important what they wear can be.
