A landmark memoir told through the campaigns and battles that Margaret has been involved in over the years, from being a rebellious teenager to a battling granny.

Here, she shares anecdotes and stories that are interesting, important and funny. She draws lessons from her experiences, many of which resonate with the challenges we face today.

Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR CALLED TO ACCOUNT:

The only figure in public life making a robust moral case for the honest payment of tax is Margaret Hodge – Zoë Williams ― Guardian

She's a bit like a tarantula: you don't want to become intimate with it but you admire its danger and grace – Anonymous Conservative member of the Public Accounts Committee

She is fearless, feisty, sharp as a tack and at the top of her game – Lynn Barber ― Sunday Times

A shocking exposé of corporate misbehaviour and government waste, it has not had the attention it deserves – Chris Mullin ― Observer
