Helle Thorning-Schmidt is a retired Danish politician who was the first woman to lead the Social Democrats from 2005 to 2015, and the first female Prime Minister of Denmark from from 2011 to 2015. Helle's career has been an interesting one. And even now she continues to influence in politics, feminism, and football! In this episode, we discuss Helle's famous selfie with Barack Obama and David Cameron, her remarkable and yet so modest attitude to her career, Borgen, and what Grace was like as a child!
