	New Statesman - In defence of Edwina Currie, the woman who dared
		But Edwina has not just discredited a former prime minister and his agenda: she has exposed parliamentary life for the male-centred, clubby existence it continues to be.
		And Edwina, as the psychiatrist and author Susie Orbach points out, "belonged to that generation of women politicians who did not join forces to challenge the system; rather they saw their predicament as an individual burden that could only be resolved on their own".
		Edwina's loneliness at Westminster was due in part also to her background: she was a Jewish Liverpudlian, married to no one fancier than an accountant.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Ambassador: Books: Edwina Currie (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Edwina Currie has written some steamy thrillers, but in this latest novel she has produced a credible vehicle for some serious ideas that show her as unusually free-thinking despite her own political roots.
		Edwina Currie has looked ahead at our future and, as well as seeing stark possibilities there, she takes the chance to remark at the nonsenses that may be left over from today.
		I quite enjoyed this book, but the author clearly has had her mind mostly on certain developments, so while her thoughts on genetical engineering and the role of media are provocative and interesting, she seems to think that for example computers will evolve only marginally.
