Society & Politics

This unique volume brings together the key writings of Elizabeth Andrews, one of the most influential female political activists of the early 20th century and a key figure in Welsh women's political history.

Clare Short MP has been one of the government's most outspoken critics, despite having been a member of it for most of its two terms of office since 1997. Her resignation from the Cabinet over the war in Iraq in 2003 caused a furore -- not least because she had already threatened to go a few months earlier. Why did she delay? Why did she then decide to go? What is at the heart of her reservations about the New Labour style of government, and how does it affect the way we all live our lives?
