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.

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.

a valid defence of the vote leave campaign. it lacks critical thinking and intersectionality at points but it was reading as it takes an uncompromising and critical view of the remain campaign. while I may not agree with the authors opinions I have learned much about the brexit campaigns and referendum. and it has helped me solidify my position upon the topic

Easily the most accessible book about trans liberation that I have ever read. There is no jargon, there is no reading between the lines, everything is spelt out beautifully and clearly with eloquence and joy.
