Baroness Blackstone

The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is Baroness Blackstone.

She'll be talking to Sue Lawley about her political radicalisation at the London School of Economics in the 1960s, the difficulties of working motherhood and the different demands of her varied professional life encompassing the academic, political and public worlds.
