"Edith Summerskill was a pioneering champion of women's rights, a successful minister in Clement Attlee's post-war government, and an influential figure on Labour's National Executive Committee. Yet she was neglected by historians - until now. Mary Honeyball's fine biography restores Summerskill as a substantial figure in the Labour Party's history. It deserves to be widely read." -- Nick Thomas-Symonds, MP "Thoroughly researched and written with real affection, Mary Honeyball's book finally gives this great Labour woman the biography she deserves. A worthy tribute, full of inspiration and insight." -- Rachel Reeves, MP "Mary Honeyball's timely and enjoyable biography of Edith Summerskill is a valuable addition to the growing body of literature about forgotten Labour women, illuminating the contribution of one of the first feminist MPs to the long and ongoing struggle for women's rights." -- Nan Sloane, author of 'Uncontrollable Women' and 'The Women in the Room'.
