==Early life==
Born in Northumberland in the north east of England on 15 May 1953, Ridley is the eldest daughter of the former Conservative Cabinet minister Nicholas Ridley (1929–1993) and a granddaughter of Matthew Ridley, 3rd Viscount Ridley, by his marriage to Ursula Lutyens. Her father married Clayre Campbell (1927-2015), a daughter of Alistair Campbell, 4th Baron Stratheden and Campbell. They had three daughters, Jane (1953), Susanna (1955), and Jessica (1957), and were divorced in 1974.〔Patrick Cosgrave, 'Ridley, Nicholas, Baron Ridley of Liddesdale (1929–1993)', in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford University Press, 2004); (online edition ), accessed 6 March 2014 (subscription site)〕 Her great-grandmother Lady Emily Bulwer-Lytton (1874–1964), who dismayed her parents by marrying the architect Lutyens, was a daughter of the Earl of Lytton, Viceroy of India in the 1870s.〔Michael Barker, ''Sir Edwin Lutyens'' (2005), pp. 12–13〕 His parents were the novelists Edward and Rosina Bulwer Lytton. Her cousins include the economist Sir Adam Ridley.〔L. G. Pine, The New Extinct Peerage 1884–1971: Containing Extinct, Abeyant, Dormant and Suspended Peerages with Genealogies and Arms (London: Heraldry Today, 1972), p. 16〕
Ridley was educated at Cranborne Chase School, an independent boarding school for girls, since closed, then occupying New Wardour Castle, near the village of Tisbury in Wiltshire,〔''Cranborne Chase School Register, 1967'' (Cranborne Chase School, Autumn 1967)〕 and later at St Hugh's College, Oxford, as an Exhibitioner in History. She took a first class honours degree in 1974, then was a research student at Nuffield College until 1978, graduating D. Phil. in 1985 with a thesis entitled ''Leadership and Management in the Conservative Party in Parliament 1906–1914''.〔(Professor Jane Ridley ) at buckingham.ac.uk, accessed 6 March 2014〕
