A Woman Like Me: A Memoir
A Woman Like Me

Ever since she first walked through the House of Commons as Britain’s first Black woman MP, Diane Abbott has been a fearless and vocal champion for the causes that have shaped modern Britain. From increasing access to education for Black children to speaking out against the Iraq War, she has consistently stood at the forefront of progressive change.

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—facing relentless abuse in the media, on social platforms, and even from within her own party. A Woman Like Me is an inspirational memoir of resilience, leadership, and an extraordinary legacy forged against the odds.
