A self-proclaimed feminist, Ivanka made regular appearances on her father’s behalf during the US election campaign – going as far as to defend his crude comments about women and insisting that his recorded boasts about sexual assault were not consistent with the man she knew.

And, since President Trump took office in January, Ivanka has been acting as an unofficial presidential counsellor (her husband, Jared Kushner, is a senior White House adviser). The couple have been frequently depicted as moderating forces in the Trump administration: voices of urbane tolerance and relative liberality in the face of the President’s brash impulsiveness and the far-right tendencies of many in his cabinet.

However, over the past few months, Ivanka has been hit by a backlash accusing her of “co-opting feminism” in a quest for personal gain and power, while others have labelled her an “accomplice” in the actions of Trump. Scarlett Johansson mocked the First Daughter in a spoof perfume ad for Saturday Night Live, which was pointedly titled ‘Complicit’.
