 By

 She is a progressive and a social democrat. A millennial woman in
leadership. Only the second elected leader in the world to give birth
while in office. But who is the real Jacinda Ardern? And why does
she inspire such global admiration?

New Zealand's prime minister has been hailed as a leader for a new
generation, tired of inaction in the face of issues such as climate
change and far-right terrorism.

Her grace and compassion following the Christchurch mosque

shooting captured the world's attention. Oprah Winfrey invited us to
'channel our inner Jacindas' as praise for Ardern flooded headlines
and social media. The ruler of this remote country even made the
cover of Time.

In this revealing biography, journalist Madeleine Chapman

discovers the woman behind the headlines. Always politically
engaged and passionate, Ardern is uncompromising and astute. She
has encountered her fair share of sexism, but rather than let that
harden her, she advocates 'rising above' disparagers. In
implementing a swift strict lockdown at the start of the COVID-19
pandemic, Ardern's calm, clear, compassionate messaging helped
New Zealand stay relatively untouched by the virus - and Ardern
secure a second term in a landslide.

But has Ardern lived up to her promise? What political concessions

has she had to make? And beyond the hype, what does her new style
of leadership look like in practice?
