The role of women in our society has changed out of all
recognition. But it has changed least in the House of Commons. I
want to describe those changes and the resistances to them through
the magnifying glass of my own life, a life that coincides with our
turbulent post-war history.' Shirley Williams was born to politics.
As well as being influenced by her mother, Vera Brittian, her
father George Caitlin, a leading political scientist, encouraged
his daughter to have high ambitions for herself - including daring
to climb the bookshelves in his library. Elected as MP for Hitchin
in 1964, she was a member of the Wilson and Callaghan governments
and was also the Secretary of State for Education. As one of the
'Gang of Four' Shirley Williams famously broke away from the Labour
Party to found the SDP in 1981 and later supported its merger with
the Liberal Party to form the Liberal Democrats. CLIMBING THE
BOOKSHELVES is the voice of strong and passionate woman of luminous
intelligence.
