Publisher's Summary
Catapulted onto the international stage with her grace and compassion following the Christchurch mosque shooting, prime minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern is a leader for a new generation.
The world's youngest female head of government, and only the second elected world leader to give birth while in office, Ardern describes herself as a progressive and a social democrat.
In this revealing biography, journalist Madeleine Chapman discovers the woman behind the headlines. Politically engaged from an early age, Ardern has encountered her fair share of sexism, but rather than let that harden her, she advocated 'rising above' critics. In her first press conference, she announced an election campaign of 'relentless positivity' - the tactic was a resounding success. But can Ardern live up to her promise? And what can we learn from the world's reaction to this inspiring leader?

I rarely read biographies....
- but was interested to learn more about Jacinda Ardern. This was written and read in a manner that retained my interest. There were sections that repeated praise for certain actions undertaken by the PM, but I suppose that is hardly a surprise for biographical material. Ultimately, I found this an enjoyable and interesting listening experience.

Loved it
Loved listening to everything about this very inspirational leader.
I did find some stories a little long winded & I'm not sure they added value.
The narrator has a unique voice that takes a bit to get used to, but she grows on you.

Wait for the autobiography
It was a good account of a great leader. Interesting analysis to. But probably far too early in her career, and absent the in-depth account that only The woman herself could tell. I’d be much more interested in the autobiography when it’s all over.

The reluctant leader
Very informative. Helped me to understand the making of the person. Her childhood, the environment she grew up in and the people in her life as a child and teenager, that moulded her personality and values. There were some parts in this that seemed unnecessarily long, specially the discussion about her baby, almost sounded like listening to a tabloid going on and on about a royal birth.
