Kim Campbell's service as Canada's first female prime minister marks only one of the many firsts that make up her dynamic career spanning media, academia, law, government, and world leadership. Since leaving politics, she has moved onto the international stage, but in this candid, revealing memoir, Kim Campbell takes you through her exciting and extraordinary political career, the challenges she met, the issues she tackled. You meet the politicians who were her friends, her enemies, and sometimes both as she forged her way in the rough-and-tumble world of politics at all three levels of Canadian government.
How did this hardworking, intensely shy woman become a political phenomenon who broke ground for a generation of women? From the age of 16 when Kim Campbell became the first female student body president of her high school, until 30 years later as the 19th Prime Minister of Canada, her determination and wit helped her battle stereotypes. This remarkable portrait provides an important look at the unique experience of one woman in the political arena, the price Kim Campbell paid, and the rewards she reaped for her principles, her vision, and her achievements.
