Description
Clare Walker won millions for the miners, but victory came at a price: Walker became the public face of a five-year criminal investigation for fraud. Having survived a childhood defined by emotional neglect and broken dreams in the 1960’s slums of Sheffield, she was no stranger to the harsh realities of life. She thrived by facing down ignorance and prejudice with humour and grit at every turn.
Slum-rules dictated that if you were going for a fight, you dressed for a party, and Walkers sharp suits instantly saw the national press cast her as a one-dimensional handbag-toting industrial disease Barbie.
But there are two sides to every story and this book, controversially, tells the other.
Witty, loud and unashamed, Love Hate and Armour-Plated Handbags is a brutally raw account of how this girl ran against the crowd from the moment she could walk.
