'Compelling ... She has guts to spare ... An important story ...Role model? You bet' Tim Shipman, Sunday Times

'So human and inspiring, and my favourite book of the year so far' Rohan Silva, Guardian

WhenHarriet Harman started her career, men-only job adverts and a'women'srate' of pay were the norm, female MPs were a tiny minority - awomancouldn't even sign for a mortgage. But, she argues, we shouldneverjust be grateful that things are better now. There's still more todo.

In A Woman's WorkHarriet, Britain'slongest-serving female MP, looks at her own life tosee how far we'vecome, and where we should go next. This is aninspiring and refreshinglyhonest account of the part she has played(and the setbacks along theway) in the movement that transformedpolitics and women's lives - fromhelping striking female factoryworkers to standing for election whilepregnant, from her memories ofher own mother to her success inreforming the law on maternity rights,childcare, domestic violence andgetting more women into parliament.But it is also a call for womentoday to get together and continue thefight for equality. If we don't,no one else will.
