The author comes from a long line of radicals and rabble-rousers whose progressive views in support of the working classes were espoused from the prosperous middle-class purlieus of academia and journalism. Rather than succumbing to the guilt of inherited privilege, she explains her personal quest to eliminate its inherent contradictions. What shines through in this moving and absorbing memoir is her intellectual honesty where so much of what she writes is highly pertinent today.
