I may not agree with every decision Harriet Harman made, but I respect her belief in the common good and equal rights. I enjoy her tenacity and commitment to feminism. She also enacted a possibly the most important peice of legestation to me, the equality act of 2010, it's had a profound impact upon my life. This memoir is a view into the history of the labour party and the feminist movement that still informs the mechanics of today's society. Would recommend.

3.0
I found this book very dull and that's not a criticism just a reminder to myself that I do, in fact, hate literary fiction.
