Reviews

'Celebrates the way Labour's 102 'Class of 1997' women MPs shifted the political agenda in ways barely recognised in the still testosterone-driven Palace of Westminster. Labour's public face is still male, but history will see how Labour's domestic agenda has been feminised.' - Polly Toynbee, The Guardian 'New Labour's Women MPs shows that the sex of our MPs matters. It reveals - in their own words - how Labour's 1997 women MPs sought to put women's issues and perspectives at the heart of British politics. It is essential reading for all those who want to answer the question of whether women in politics make a difference' - Katherine Rake, The Fawcett Society
