‘This readable, admiring biography will appeal to readers
interested in women’s expanding role in politics and the emergence
of an empathetic “feminine” governing style that the authors argue
Ardern exemplifies.’
*Booklist*
‘An inspiring read… One of the most striking features of the book
is its political fair-mindedness, its generosity of spirit… Jacinda
Ardern has led through empathy, breaking the mold of New Zealand
political culture and blazing a trail for women in leadership.’
*Australian*
‘Well-researched and competently written.’
*The Critic*
‘Battling Injustice will educate people about gender equality and
inspire women to rise up to their potential. It will inspire
parents not clip the wings of their daughters. All our girls are
meant for the stars, they need equality and freedom to
flourish.’
*Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai and her father Ziauddin Yousafzai
on Battling Injustice*
‘The lives of the women Nobel Peace laureates…are clear evidence of
my belief that women are naturally more sensitive to others' needs
and well-being… Therefore, when, as now, compassionate leadership
is required, women should take on a greater role in making this
world a better place.’
*His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Battling Injustice*
