{"product_id":"9780141983868","title":"A Woman's Work by Harriet Harman","description":"GUARDIAN AND NEW STATESMAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2017**Winner of best memoir at the Parliamentary Book Awards**Now with a new epilogue for the paperback'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, GuardianWhen  Harriet Harman started her career, men-only job adverts and a  'women's  rate' of pay were the norm, female MPs were a tiny minority - a  woman  couldn't even sign for a mortgage. But, she argues, we should  never  just be grateful that things are better now. There's still more to  do. In A Woman's Work  Harriet, Britain's  longest-serving female MP, looks at her own life to  see how far we've  come, and where we should go next. This is an  inspiring and refreshingly  honest account of the part she has played  (and the setbacks along the  way) in the movement that transformed  politics and women's lives - from  helping striking female factory  workers to standing for election while  pregnant, from her memories of  her own mother to her success in  reforming the law on maternity rights,  childcare, domestic violence and  getting more women into parliament.  But it is also a call for women  today to get together and continue the  fight for equality. If we don't,  no one else will.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56224855949685,"sku":"9780141983868","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780141983868.jpg?v=1762226877","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780141983868","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
