The most legendary female leaders in the world are honoured in Nikki Haley's frank, inspiring book. "Ask a man if you want something stated. Ask a woman to do it if you want it done. Thatcher, Margaret Ambassador Nikki R. Haley provides illuminating examples of women?including herself?who overcame challenges and resistance to accomplish their goals in the spirit of Thatcher's words. Nobody in Bamberg, South Carolina, where she was raised as a brown girl, would have foreseen that she would go on to become the country's first female minority governor, South Carolina's first female and minority governor, and the country's ambassador to the UN. It wasn't an easy path for her. She had to deal with numerous individuals who told her she didn't belong. She was too brown. Too female. Too young. Too conservative. Too principled. Too idealistic. As far as Nikki was concerned, those were not reasons to hold her back. Those were all reasons to forge ahead. She drew inspiration from other trailblazing women throughout history who summoned the courage to be different and lead. This personal and compelling book celebrates ten remarkable women who dared to be bold, from household names like Margaret Thatcher and Israel?s former prime minister Golda Meir, to Jeane Kirkpatrick, the first female U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to lesser-known leaders like human rights activist Cindy Warmbier, education advocate Virginia Walden Ford, civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, and more. Woven with stories from Haley?s own childhood and political career, If You Want Something Done will inspire the next generation of leaders.
