House of Ladies, 3rd of 3

Political journalist Julia Langdon looks at the political lives of three women life peers who have had careers in the Commons as well as the Lords, in the concluding part of "House of Ladies". Langdon has reported on events upstairs and downstairs in both Houses of the Place of Westminster for 35 years. She has watched women parliamentarians with admiration -- but without envy -- throughout that time. It's been called the Mother of Parliament, but for most of its history it has been a male-only club. Women were only allowed to take seats in the Commons after the First World War. The Lords remained barred to women until the late 1950s.
