Labour MP Jess Phillips discusses her autobiography, Everywoman.
Shortlisted for the 2017 Parliamentary Book Awards, it chronicles her life, from her childhood in a fiercely socialist and feminist family in Birmingham, to her student days at Leeds University, to her surprising victory in the 2015 election, to being a newbie in Parliament.
She describes what it is like to be an MP and reminds us that we each have a part to play in this world, exploring how we can lessen the gender divide, the class divide and the poverty divide in our country.
