The enormous respect and affection of the British public for Betty Boothroyd has its roots in a strong belief in what she stands for: fair play, an unshakeable sense of honour and a passionate belief in the Boothroyd's autobiography is destined to be an enormous bestseller.The first woman to be appointed Speaker of the House of Commons, Betty Boothroyd was once a celebrated Tiller Girl. In her autobiography, she tells of her life, the times campaigning for the Labour Party, the times she lost two by-elections, and her elation at finally becoming an MP.
