What People are Saying About This
“This book is a fascinating insight into the lives and achievements of the women who served as Members of Parliament between 1918 and 1996. Their stories deserve to be told and having them together in one place will be a great resource and a worthy recognition of their contribution to our political life and to the House of Commons. A very good read.” - Baroness Boothroyd, former speaker in the House of Commons
