momey 's review for:

A Different Kind of Power by Jacinda Ardern

5.0

I read this just after reading Angela Merkel’s memoir. Very interesting to juxtapose. Two women in politics making and meeting giant challenges to their worlds and their roles. I’ve similarly felt the ‘woman in the room’ cast by desire or circumstance as the one confronting sexist patriarchal attitudes and norms. It’s all steps forward but oh so frustrating and hard and kind of disappointing from the inside. These two women are inspirations. Very important reads imho
