Publishers Description: Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand, is lauded as one of the worlds most influential people. Her rise to power has been stellar. In 2017, she became leader of the Labour party just seven weeks before the election at which she claimed the top job. Michelle Duff sweeps up all the misogyny thats accompanied Arderns career so far and shows how it undermines women in politics. Its engaging, enraging, illuminating and funny. Sincere, intent, focused and always readable. [This] book gets to a truth and an understanding. Steve Braunias, Newsroom Michelle Duff delves into Arderns beginnings in small-town New Zealand, discovering a nose-ringed teen fighting for equality and her own identity in a devout Mormon family. Duff tracks Arderns political career, from being dismissed as a show pony to her compassion during one of New Zealands biggest tragedies, the Christchurch mosque terror attack of 2019. In its aftermath, Ardern has become a global icon for her strength and decisiveness while uniting a country in shock and mourning. Ardern attracted international headlines for being the second world leader to give birth while in office. But why was having a baby so meaningful and what does it say about the continued struggle for gender equality Has Ardern really been a transcendent leader, and what enduring mark might she leave on the political landscape This is an engrossing and powerful exploration of one of the most intriguing political stories of our time - telling us as much about one young womans ascendancy as it does about the country that elected her.
