Rachel Johnson takes on the challenge of saving The Lady Britain's oldest women's weekly in her hilarious diary A Diary of The Lady: My First Year and a Half as Editor.

'The whole place seemed completely bonkers: dusty tatty disorganized and impossibly old-fashioned set in an age of doilies and flag-waving patriotism and jam still for tea some sunny day.'

Appointed editor of The Lady - the oldest women's weekly in the world - Rachel Johnson faced the challenge of a lifetime. For a start how do you become an editor when you've never well edited? How do you turn a venerable title full of ads for walk-in baths during the worst recession ever? And forget doubling the circulation in a year - what on earth do you wear to work when you've spent the last fifteen years at home in sweatpants?

Will Rachel save The Lady - or sink it?

'Action-packed entertaining marvellously indiscreet. Johnson is everything you want in a diarist and has a compulsive habit of saying the wrong thing' Sunday Times
