Diane Abbott, a remarkable figure in British public life, has overcome numerous challenges and made history as the first elected Black female MP in the UK. Her journey began in the 1960s, growing up in North London with her working-class Jamaican parents, and later attending Cambridge University to study history. Since her election to the House of Commons, Diane has been a fearless and vocal champion for various causes, including increasing access to education for Black children, speaking out against the Iraq war, and advocating tirelessly for refugees and immigrants. Despite facing hostility from the mainstream media, social media, and the political establishment, including her own party, Diane has remained steadfast in her convictions. Written with frankness and wry humor, "A Woman Like Me" is an inspirational account that celebrates how one woman succeeded against massive odds and built an extraordinary legacy.
