Fe'i ganed yn Canberra ar 2 Rhagfyr 1948. Wedi gadael yr ysgol mynychodd Brifysgol Genedlaethol Awstralia, Coleg Nuffield a Choleg Newnham.

Dechreuodd gyrfa wleidyddol Hewitt yn y 1970au fel gwleidydd asgell-chwith uchel ei chloch a chefnogwr i Tony Benn A.S., gan gael ei chlustnodi gan MI5 fel "cyfaill comiwnyddiaeth", honedig. Ar ôl naw mlynedd fel Ysgrifennydd Cyffredinol y Cyngor Hawliau Sifil Cenedlaethol, daeth yn ysgrifennydd y wasg i Neil Kinnock, a gynorthwyodd hi i foderneiddio'r Blaid Lafur. Ym 1997, hi oedd yr AS benywaidd cyntaf i Leicester West, sedd Lafur ddiogel, a gynrychiolodd am dair blynedd ar ddeg.

Yn 1981 priododd Birtles yn Camden; mae ganddynt ferch (ganwyd Medi 1986) a mab (ganwyd Chwefror 1988). Ym 1971, daeth yn Swyddog y Wasg a Chysylltiadau Cyhoeddus i Age Concern, cyn ymuno â'r Cyngor Cenedlaethol dros Ryddid Sifil ("Liberty", bellach), fel swyddog hawliau menywod yn 1973, ac am naw mlynedd o 1974 fel ysgrifennydd cyffredinol.

Yn 1990, dyfarnodd Cyngor Ewrop fod goruchwyliaeth MI5 o Hewitt a Harriet Harman, wedi torri'r Confensiwn Ewropeaidd ar Hawliau Dynol.

Yn ystod ei chyfnod, copiodd yr ymarfer da yng Nghymru drwy wneud wneud y gwaharddiad ar ysmygu mewn mannau cyhoeddus yn gyfreithiol-orfodol.
