Barbara Wootton was one of the extraordinary public figures of the
twentieth century. She was an outstanding social scientist, an
architect of the welfare state, an iconoclast who challenged
conventional wisdoms and the first woman to sit on the Woolsack in
the House of Lords. Ann Oakley has written a fascinating and highly
readable account of the life and work of this singular woman, but
the book goes much further. It is an engaged account of the making
of British social policy at a critical period seen through the lens
of the life and work of a pivotal figure. Oakley tells a story
about the intersections of the public and the private and about the
way her subject's life unfolded within, was shaped by, and helped
to shape a particular social and intellectual context.
