�Chopsy is a memoir like no other - a gut-wrenchingly powerful, yet frequently funny account of a life spent defying �the prejudice and inequality faced by working-class women.�Maya Jordan's ambition and resilience was born in the library and nourished by the Open University - through poverty, early motherhood, precarious housing, caring responsibilities and chronic disability - to a point where she finally seized her right to write. 'Funny as hell and full of fight. Maya's voice is the real deal'�Daisy May Cooper'A curse on being ordinary! Wrong is not her name. Her name is Maya Jordan. She is a noisy woman and we should fear her' Michael Sheen
