Story
As 'a little girl from a little school in a little village in North Yorkshire', she only went into the law because her headteacher told her she wasn't clever enough to study history. She became the most senior judge in the country, but it was an unconventional path to the top. Wise, warm and inspiring, Spider Woman shows how the law shapes our world and supports us in crisis. It is the story of how Lady Hale found that she could overcome the odds, which shows that anyone from similar beginnings will find that they can cope, too.

She gave the post the title 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race'. Her sharp, fiercely intelligent words hit a nerve, and the post went viral, spawning a huge number of comments from people desperate to speak up about their own similar experiences.

Patrick Vernon's landmark 100 Great Black Britons campaign of 2003 was one of the most successful movements to focus on the role of people of African and Caribbean descent in British history. Frustrated by the widespread and continuing exclusion of the Black British community from the mainstream popular conception of 'Britishness', despite Black people having lived in Britain for more than 1,000 years, Vernon set up a public poll in which anyone could vote for the Black Briton they most admired.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

It's an audiobook about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Uplifting, inspiring and rich in stories from Elizabeth’s own life, How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us; rather it is how we respond to it that shapes us as individuals.

Story
A rally cry for working mothers everywhere that demolishes the "distracted, emotional, weak" stereotype and definitively shows that these professionals are more focused, decisive, and stronger than any other force. There is copious academic research showing the benefits of working mothers on families and the benefits to companies who give women longer and more flexible parental leave. There are even findings that demonstrate women with multiple children actually perform better at work than those with none or one.
Summary
Gina Miller came to prominence when she brought one of the most significant constitutional cases ever to be heard in the British Supreme Court. Gina successfully challenged the UK government's authority to trigger Article 50 - the formal notification to leave the European Union - without parliamentary approval. For standing up for what she believed was right, Miller became the target of not just racist and sexist verbal abuse but physical threats to her and her family.
One question she kept being asked was: how could she keep going at the cost of so much pain and aggravation? To her the answer was obvious: she'd been doing it all her life.
In Rise, Gina Miller draws on a lifetime of fighting injustice and looks at the moments that made her: the trauma, failures and successes that gave her the confidence in her voice, the ability to know how to use it and the strength not to let others diminish it, even when it came at incredible cost. To those who say one person cannot make a difference, this memoir demonstrates irrefutably how you can.

Phenomenal Woman! A must read/ listen.
This book has been instrumental in finding myself whilst digging deep to realise my potential. Gina is a fantastic and truly fascinating woman, who has transcended difficulty and still risen despite the challenges thrown her way. I marvel at how she comes across as quite childlike in her outlook on life and hope for humanity.
Thank you for all you have done, for fighting the bullies and sacrificing your time and safety for the whole of Britain.
You are a HERO. How anyone can dislike you is beyond my comprehension. I have fallen in love with your strength, determination and composure.
We must all continue to speak our truth and stand our grounds firmly, by doing this the bullies of the world will surely go into remission.

Get the book, not the audiobook
I listened to a podcast recording of the author talking to Elisabeth Day, and it was fascinating and made me want to get the book. However the audiobook is unlistenable. Her reading of the text was stilted and unnatural, and thoroughly distracting. I returned my copy of the audiobook. I would still like to read it, so maybe I will get a copy of the physical book at some point.

An interesting delve into the woman behind the headlines
Gina gives us all the answers to why someone would put themselves through some of the vitriol we often heard thrown at her. We get a real sense of how her character was built and honed from childhood to now. We get to understand more of where her moral compass lays, the trials she has overcome and why she is not afraid to fight for what she believes to be right. Well worth the read / listen.

There is a phrase Gina Miller uses in the book, something like 'soft but tough'. If I have recalled it correctly this phrase loosely summarises her in this book. I'm inspired by the woman who repeatedly stands up for what she believes is right despite adversities. Gina Miller has been doing this for a lifetime. Thank you also Gina for reading your story because there is so much misinformation in the public domain and for sharing your rationale behind the key decisions you discuss relating to your personal and public life. You are truly a champion for ethics and equality.

A lady of our time
I recently heard Gina Miller on a podcast and I thought ... wow... I must listen to her story.
Her story is inspirational, she’s one principled lady and I enjoyed finding out more about her. She is a lady of our time. I was appalled to hear about the vitriol poured upon her and in awe of her strength of character.
The narration was not brilliant ... but I still listened and that shows the quality of the story. I’m pretty sure that in a few years Gina will do another autobiography and I’d love to hear more about how she succeed in her early years.

Gina is very clear as a narrator. With each chapter your admiration for her as a person impresses you as you learn of the struggles she came through both personal and professional. In particular the struggle and perseverance she showed in raising her daughter was especially inspiring to those of us with special needs children.
