Betty Boothroyd's autobiography is a candid and insightful account of her life in politics. Born into a working-class family in 1929, Betty grew up with a strong sense of values that would shape her career. She recounts her early experiences as a talented dancer and her subsequent entry into politics, where she quickly established herself as a dedicated and passionate advocate for fair play and the sovereignty of Parliament. Betty's journey through the Labour Party is marked by significant challenges and triumphs. From her early days working in the House of Commons to her election as an MP in 1973, she shares her experiences with candour and humour. The book also delves into her role in the struggle to save the party from the hard left and her relationships with key figures of the time. Through this autobiography, Betty Boothroyd offers a unique perspective on British politics and the Labour Party's history. With its honest and engaging tone, this book is an interesting read for anyone looking to understand the inner workings of politics in the UK.
