Shirley Williams is an outstanding figure in the British political landscape and one of the most dynamic and inspirational female politicians of our time. Her mother was renowned pacifist Vera Brittain and her father, George Catlin, a left wing political activist and philosopher. She was a member of the Wilson and Callaghan governments, before co-founding the SDP. She later became leader of the Liberal Democrats in The House of Lords.

In her autobiography Climbing the Bookshelves she tells the remarkable story, for the first time, of her life and career and gives a fascinating insight into a life in politics. There will be an opportunity to put questions to Baroness Williams followed by a book signing.
