US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has "lived" gender equality, his daughter says.
Ivanka Trump said her father was a feminist who had "employed women at the highest levels" of his businesses.
The 34-year-old, who works on his campaign, told the Sunday Times her father was "a big reason I am the woman I am today".
She said: "He always told me and showed me that I could do anything I set my mind to if I married vision and passion with work ethic.
"He's also surrounded me with strong female role models who have done just that since I was a little girl.
"People talk about gender equality. He has lived it.
"He has employed women at the highest levels of the Trump Organisation for decades, so I think it's a great testament to how capable he thinks women are and has shown that his whole life."
Mr Trump, 70, has been polling badly with women in the run-up to November's general election.
He is 19% behind Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton among female voters, according to a Fox News poll at the end of June.
