<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Sincere, intent, focused and always readable. [This] book gets to a truth and an understanding." --Steve Braunias, <i>Newsroom</i> <p/> Michelle Duff delves into Ardern's beginnings in small-town New Zealand, discovering a nose-ringed teen fighting for equality and her own identity in a devout Mormon family. <p/> Duff tracks Ardern's political career, from being dismissed as a "show pony" to her compassion during one of New Zealand's 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. <p/> 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? <p/> Has Ardern really been a transcendent leader, and what enduring mark might she leave on the political landscape? <p/> 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 woman's ascendancy as it does about the country that elected her.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sincere, intent, focused and always readable.
