About
Rowbotham was born in Leeds, the daughter of a salesman for an engineering company and an office clerk. From an early age, she was deeply interested in history. Rowbotham was to write that traditional political history “left her cold”, but she credited Olga Wilkinson, one of her teachers with encouraging her interest in social history by showing that history “belonged to the present, not to the history textbooks”.
