SIM Ep 209, IWD #5: 100 years of women in the Met with Jennifer Rees

In our fifth episode of our International Women's Day 2019 series, we caught up with Jennifer Rees, former police officer and author of Voices From The Blue, celebrating 100 years of women in the Metropolitan Police. We chatted about the first intake of birds on the beat, institutionalised sexism, and just how accurate an episode of Luther really is.
