LifeShe was born Audrey Brown in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the daughter of a former Labour councillor. She married her husband John, a dispensing optician, in 1953. At the age of 21 she became a Tottenham borough councillor. She served as MP for Coventry South West from February 1974 to 1979, a period of tenuous Labour Government with marginal or no majorities. Despite the left-wing government, "at Westminster in the 1970s she was regarded as something of a left-wing nuisance, a state of affairs that she viewed as necessary and desirable."[2] During the 1970s she was a leading member of the Institute for Workers' Control.[3] She visited Portugal in 1974 to report on and participate in the Carnation Revolution that overthrew the fascist dictatorship, recording her experiences and analysis in Eyewitness in Revolutionary Portugal. [4] She was famously arrested on the picket line during the Grunwick dispute where Asian women workers were striking for union recognition.[5] With Jeff Rooker she co-authored the Rooker-Wise Amendment to Denis Healey's 1977 budget which sought to freeze many annual fiscal changes to mitigate global inflation; this amendment introduced retrospective inflation-proofing on personal tax allowances (the tax-free portion of individuals' earnings), and resulted in £450 million being returned to taxpayers.[2] Losing her seat in the 1979 general election, she stood unsuccessfully in Woolwich in 1983. She was then elected as MP for Preston at the 1987 general election, which she held until her death. Wise was a member of the left-wing Campaign Group of Labour MPs. She was president of the shop staff union USDAW between 1991-97.[3] As a member of the health select committee, she persuaded the committee to hold an inquiry into maternity services. The report,[6] endorsed by the Conservative government, called for services to become more woman-centred, and recommended increased access to home births and water births. She died on 2 September 2000, due to a brain tumour, which had been diagnosed in April the same year; her family described her death as "one fight she did not win".[7] The conflict between Audrey Wise and the Labour Whips was highlighted in the National Theatre play "This House" by James Graham in 2012. She had a son and daughter, Ian Wise and Valerie Wise, who is also a political activist. Notes1. ^Wise gave her age as thirty-nine when nominated for the Coventry parliamentary seat, though she had just turned forty-two when she was elected in February 1974. Her date of birth was routinely reported as 1935 after this date, which often caused her "enormous difficulty" when asked in later years.
