The first woman in North America to lead a national political party, she brings to the exercise of power a new and unconventional philosophy: politics is not a contest between winners and losers, but a process of consensus, empowerment, and common effort. McLaughlin has demonstrated that her way works: since becoming leader of the New Democratic Party in 1989, she has established a very different style in the House of Commons and on the national stage. Her courage in addressing the issues of real importance to Canadians has won respect and admiration: polls consistently rank her as the most popular of the national party leaders. Her refreshing, even revolutionary, approach springs not only from the fact that she is a woman--one of only forty women among 295 MPs--but from a life that has been extraordinarily varied and intensely lived. The details of her early marriage and motherhood and of her professional life before politics are not widely known, but her experiences have been a natural preparation for political activism. Whether raising two children as a single mother, teaching in a secondary school in Ghana, or packing all her worldly possessions in a pick-up truck and heading for the Yukon, hers is not the ordinary resume of a potential prime minister. A Woman's Place is the personal and political self-portrait of a remarkable public figure: a frank account of the defining moments that have shaped her beliefs, of the barriers that she and other women politicians have had to overcome, and of the powerful impulse to equality and justice that drives her. Revealing, provocative, and moving, this is a book that speaks directly to these who are inspired by McLaughlin's example of self-esteem in action and to countless Canadians who are demanding an alternative to an outdated political culture. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
