If you’ve made a promise to your voters that you will stand up for them, you need to stand up for them. Nobody makes you stand as a Labour MP. You fight for that position. If I’d just seen this as a career, I never would have done it. It was because it was a cause. And the cause is when you’re opposition as well as government.

The first time the story of women's progressive politics over the past thirty years has been told - by someone at the forefront of the movement

Why does the political representation of women matter? And which hurdles - personal, political and societal - have been faced, fought and sometimes overcome in the past thirty years?

From campaigning with small children to increasing the number of women in Parliament, bringing women's issues to the heart of the Labour Party and tackling a parliamentary culture with no consideration for family life, this frank, inspiring and politically charged book is a crucial account of the progress (and occasional setbacks) made in fighting to change the Labour Party, UK politics and the way the country has been governed since the 1970s.

‘Harman took on the cavemen of Westminister - and won.’ - The Telegraph

'If I had a teenage daughter, especially one who didn't see the point of politics, this is the book I'd buy her.’ - The Guardian
