    Shirley Williams, Hörbuch, Digital, 127min
    With recollections from childhood to the present, written and recorded for BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, Shirley Williams describes her life as one of Britain's foremost political women this century. She describes her early life with her pioneering pacifist mother, Vera Brittain; her father, George Caitlin; and her mother's friend, the writer Winifred Holtby. From experiences as an evacuee in the United States and as an undergraduate in a fervent postwar Oxford full of exciting and ambitious contemporaries, she talks about the idealism that led her to decide, as a young woman of 20, to devote her life to politics. From fighting elections to climbing the ministerial ladder as a woman, she recalls the 60s when she rose to become one of the most prominent members of Harold Wilson's government, the 70s when she served in the Cabinet and the turbulent 80s when she was one of the Gang of Four, the founders of the SDP.

    Don't Forget to Write: The True Story of an Evacuee and her Family , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
    “Dad walked determinedly down the path, joined by two neighbours with five children between them. As we reached the corner of Kent Avenue, I looked back for one last wave. But Mum had buried her head in her pinny and it was a year before I saw her again.” In June 1940, 10-year-old Pam Hobbs and her sister Iris took the long journey from their council home in Leigh-on-Sea to faraway rural Derbyshire. Living away from Mum and Dad for two long years, Pam was moved between four foster homes. In some, she and Iris found a second family, with babies to look after, car rides and picnics, and even a pet pig. But other billets took a more sinister turn, as the adults found it easy to exploit the children in their care. Returning to Essex, things would never be the same again, and the war was far from over. Making do with rations, dodging bombs and helping with the war effort, Pam and her family struggled to get by. In Don't Forget to Write, with warmth and vivid detail, Pam describes a time that was full of overwhelming hardship and devastatio - yet also of kindness and humour, resilience and courage. ungekürzt.
