Polly Toynbee
The Class System and the Myth of Mobility
Guardian journalist Polly Toynbee grew up in a prosperous left wing family that vocally rejected social injustice. Polly examines her ancestors— including Rosalind, Countess of Carlisle, Jessica Mitford and Bertrand Russell, and features ancestral home Castle Howard as a backdrop—and the guilt of privilege, arguing for an honest conversation about class in Britain.
