From challenging expectations as a bright and restless child of the
Windrush generation to making history as the first elected Black female
MP in the UK, Diane Abbott has seen it all.
A Woman Like Me takes readers through Diane’s incredible journey,
painting a vivid picture of growing up in 1960s North London with her
working-class Jamaican parents, before entering the hallowed halls of
Cambridge University to study history. Ever since the day she first
walked through the House of Commons as the first Black woman MP, she
has been a fearless and vocal champion for the causes that have made
Britain what it is today, whether it’s increasing access to education
for Black children and speaking out against the Iraq war or advocating
tirelessly for refugees and immigrants.
A unique figure in British public life, Diane has often had nothing but
the courage of her convictions to carry her through incredibly hostile
environments, from torrential abuse in the mainstream media and on
social media, to being shunned by the political establishment,
including by her own party. Written with frankness and wry humour, A
Woman Like Me is an inspirational account that celebrates how one woman
succeeded against massive odds and built an extraordinary legacy.
