She attended the independent Godolphin and Latymer School girls school and read Modern History at Lincoln College, Oxford.[1]. Her parents separated in 1976 and formally divorced 20 years later.[2]
Williams writes for The Guardian and the New Statesman. She writes political commentary, interviews and reviews. Her work has also appeared in other publications, including The Spectator, NOW Magazine, the London Cycling Campaign's magazine London Cyclist and the London Evening Standard where she contributed columns on a variety of subjects, and a diary about being a single woman in London.
In May 2011 Williams admitted to fare dodging when in her 30s while travelling on London buses. She wrote "I actually had a lot of affection for bendy buses, mainly because evading your fare was so easy that to pay was almost missing the point. We used to call it freebussing."[3][4]
Williams describes her political views as left-wing and feminist. She sometimes covers feminist issues in her columns, and is a supporter of the British Humanist Association.
Williams lives in Camberwell, South London with her boyfriend.[5][6] They have a son and a daughter.[7]
