First published in 1997, Patricia Hollis's biography of the
pioneering Labour MP Jennie Lee (1904-1988) won both the Wolfson
History Prize and the Orwell Prize. It is the definitive study of
this remarkable woman, her stormy political career, and her
marriage to Aneurin Bevan. In a new preface to this edition Hollis
adds insights into Lee's life which emerged subsequent to first
publication, and also draws on her own experience as a Labour
Minister from 1997-2005. 'Lee's lives and loves, passions and
drives are beautifully and frankly explored in Patricia Hollis's
compelling book.' THES 'Superbly researched, engrossingly written,
scrupulously honest.' Gerald Kaufman, Daily Telegraph 'What makes
it particularly fascinating is the author's own first-hand
knowledge of politics and of the Labour movement.' TLS 'One of the
best political biographies of recent years' Alan Watkins, New
Statesman
