Early life and careerShe was born in 1949 in Newcastle upon Tyne and educated in the south west at the Trowbridge Girls' High School and the Kingswood Grammar School in Bristol. She attended the Polytechnic of Central London and the Université de Nantes.
Entry into politicsAt the 1987 general election she was unsuccessful and the seat was won by David Trippier by a clear 5,000 votes. She became a campaigns organiser for the Parliamentary Labour Party. Anderson then became the northern regional organiser for the Shopping Hours Reform Council campaigning to extending the Sunday trading laws. Janet Anderson fought Rossendale and Darwen again at the 1992 General Election, and this time she was successful, albeit very narrowly. She ousted Trippier by just 120 votes. Political careerAlmost immediately she became the Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Margaret Beckett, which she held for a year. Following the 1997 general election she was given a job in Tony Blair's new government as the Vice-Chamberlain of the Household, a grand title for a junior whip.
She used to be married to the solicitor Vincent Humphreys and they have three children together. She lives in London with her partner, English MP Jim Dowd. As well as speaking fluent French, she plays the piano and is very keen on opera.
