“Civilised.”
“Very important work.”
Is this how you would describe the House of Lords?
These are just some of the words used to describe the House of Lords by the Members that sit there.
Despite making up 30% of its total membership, female Peers that sit in Parliament’s second chamber are frequently overlooked.
Her Voice in the House is a new podcast that spotlights female Peers. Through candid conversations with women who sit in the Lords, host Laura Emily Dunn lifts the lid on what it truly means to be a female Peer, the issues they’re championing and their role shaping British democracy and legislation.
The podcast also examines the impact these women are making through their parliamentary platform and how their leadership is inspiring more women to enter public service.
From former Leaders of the House to broadcasters, political strategists to business leaders, Her Voice in the House explores one of Britain’s most distinctive institutions and celebrates the accomplished women shaping it from within.
Subscribe, listen, and join the conversation — and if you have suggestions for future guests, we’d love to hear from you.
