Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the lawyer Dame Elish Angiolini.

The first woman to become both Scotland's Solicitor General and Lord Advocate she's currently principal of St Hugh's College Oxford. It's a long way from Govan where her father heaved bags of coal round the streets and there wasn't always money for the meter. She was the youngest of four and by her own admission being "gabby" was the only way she got heard.

It's an early skill that seems to have served her pretty well - in the legal establishment she gained a reputation as a gutsy moderniser, unafraid to challenge the system. Among her innovations a pioneering support scheme for vulnerable victims and establishing the National Crimes Sex Unit for Scotland - the first of its kind in Europe.

Her predisposition to seeing things from the victim's point of view might have something to do with her own experience - in 1984 she was badly injured in a rail disaster that killed 13 others - including the two men sitting opposite her.

She says "... Advocacy is a great life skill. If you go to your bank manager asking for an overdraft, or if you barter at a market, you are employing advocacy skills. It is all about empathy and charisma."

克斯蒂-杨本周的弃儿是律师Dame Elish Angiolini。

她是第一位同时成为苏格兰副检察长和检察长的女性，目前是牛津大学圣休学院的校长。这里离戈万很远，她的父亲在那里把一袋袋的煤搬到街上，而且并不总是有钱买电表。她是四个孩子中最小的一个，她自己承认，"滔滔不绝 "是她被听到的唯一途径。

这是她早期的一项技能，似乎对她很有帮助--在法律机构中，她获得了一个大胆的现代化者的声誉，不惧怕挑战制度。在她的创新中，有一项是为弱势受害者提供的开创性的支持计划，以及为苏格兰建立的国家性犯罪股--这是欧洲的第一个此类机构。

她倾向于从受害者的角度看问题，这可能与她自己的经历有关--1984年，她在一次铁路灾难中受了重伤，导致13人死亡--包括坐在她对面的两名男子。

她说："......宣传是一项伟大的生活技能。如果你去找你的银行经理要求透支，或者如果你在市场上讨价还价，你就在运用倡导技能。这都是关于同理心和魅力"。
