A propos de cet article

xiii, [1], 354 pages. Illustrations (many in color). Index. Signed by the author on the title page. Cherie, Lady Blair, CBE, KC (née Booth; born 23 September 1954), also known professionally as Cherie Booth, is an English barrister and writer. She is married to former British Prime Minister, Sir Tony Blair. She was a founding member of Matrix Chambers in London but no longer practices there. Matrix was formed in 2000 specializing in human rights law, though members also practice in a range of areas of UK public and private law, the Law of the European Union and European Convention on Human Rights, in addition to public international law. She is Founder and chair of law firm Omnia Strategy LLP. She specializes in employment, discrimination, as well as public law; in this capacity, she has occasionally represented claimants taking cases against the UK Government. Blair was the third Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 1999 to 2006. Blair has described herself as a socialist and, at times, has appeared to have views further to the left than those of her husband. Blair wrote a book of her memoirs, published in late May 2008, entitled Speaking for Myself: The Autobiography, and the book was listed as a Sunday Times best-seller. Interviewed by Carole MacNeil on the Canadian network CBC Television on 1 June 2008, Blair stated that she felt most of the controversy about her in the British media was due to her pioneering role as the first wife of a British prime minister who had her own career, with the media simply not knowing how to treat her fairly and objectively. Even if she hadn't married Tony Blair, Cherie's story would have been amazing. Abandoned by her actor father, she overcame obstacles to become one of the UK's most successful barristers. But when Labour took power in 1997, she faced new challenges: her husband was the first Prime Minister in recent history with a young family, and Cherie was the first PM's wife with a serious career. Now, she gives a complete account of her own life--an astonishing journey for a woman whose unconventional childhood was full of drama and who grew up with a fierce sense of justice. In her autobiography she reveals for the first time what it was like to combine life as a working mother with life married to the Prime Minister. She writes about her encounters with scores of foreign leaders and her friendships with Presidents Clinton and Bush, as well as with Hillary and Laura. And she offers inside details of her relationships with the royals, including Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and Princess Diana. First North American Edition [stated] Second printing [stated].…
