Description
Redefine the expectations for women in leadership roles with this #1 New York Times bestselling volume of inspiring advice by the former communications director for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Framed as an empowering letter from former Hillary Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri to the first woman president, and by extension, to all women working to succeed in any field, Dear Madam President is filled with forward-thinking, practical advice for all women who are determined to seize control of their lives-from boardroom to living room.
As a country, we haven't wrapped our heads around what it should look like for a woman to be in the job of President. Our only models are men. While wildly disappointed by the outcome of the 2016 election, Palmieri argues that our feelings-confusion, love, hate, acceptance-can now open the country up to reimagining women in leadership roles. And that is what Palmieri takes on in this book-redefining expectations for women looking to lead and creating a blueprint for women candidates and leaders to follow. Dear Madam President will turn the results of the 2016 election into something incredibly empowering for graduates, future female leaders, and independent thinkers everywhere.
Reviews
Dear Madam President
5By LchraveI’ve never written a book review. But, after reading the first chapter of this book, I realized this was a book about my generation of women in the workforce, Baby Boomers. It doesn’t matter that I haven’t run for Office or run a business. What matters are the common struggles, perceptions, deceptions and work life balances and trade-offs women have been juggling for generations. I was crying several pages into this book. I was crying because I recognized the truth in the authors’ words; words that describe so many of our lives. And I was crying because of the same sadness and fear we all shared that awful day in November. This is my story, your story and so many other women’s stories. Let’s share in this story and support each other. After all, I’ve already voted for a woman president; the woman I believed would be the best first woman president, a woman I’ve admired most of my adult life. And to the next woman that accepts this momentous journey, let me say thank you Dear Madam President. We can’t wait to meet you!
