 Talk:Ruth Kelly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As yet Ruth Kelly's membership of Opus Dei has not been confirmed, so I have changed the part about being a member of Opus Dei to allegations and some evidence.
Kelly's voice is undeniably very deep (plenty of googlable sources out there on the web which remark on this).
Does anyone have any evidence for the statement that "Kelly has...championed the role of parents in the education system..." Certainly her latest foray into the influence of parents of the educational system (aka the white paper) doesn't show much of a champions role as far as parents are concerned.

Kelly's biography of Eleanor is one of the most engaging examples of historical fiction that I have ever read, and as a result, I've re-read this book three times.
Kelly uses most of the now recognized primary sources so this work is a fairly good summary of the known facts about Eleanor and her period in history.
Kelly clarifies a dynastic web of deception, internecine war and greed, bringing warmth to grim events in the persona of the Queen and her troubadour court of high romance that was so much a part of her lineage from the south.
