Review : Instant New York Times and USA Today bestseller! Nikki Haley's sharply intimate and inspirational book celebrates the world's most iconic women leaders. “If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.” ―Margaret Thatcher In the spirit of Thatcher’s quote, Ambassador Nikki R. Haley offers inspiring examples of women who worked against obstacles and opposition to get things done―including Haley herself. As a brown girl growing up in Bamberg, South Carolina, no one would have predicted she would become the first minority female governor in America, the first female and the first minority governor in South Carolina, or the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Her journey wasn’t an easy one. She faced many people who thought she didn’t belong―and who told her so. 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. Read more

 

Review : mini biographies interspersed with personal asides from Nikki. After reading the other major biography release for this week, “Confidence Man”, I needed to read something I hoped would be less partisan and “If You Want Something Done” is a giant success on that front. It is highly female forward, as noted in the subtitle, but not at the cost or derision of men and many political parties are represented from this and other countries, without judgment or central focus. These ten bold women and their amazing accomplishments are front and center. Author, Nikki Haley, is giving time and attention to 10 women who have had a profound impact on the world. Some were very familiar to me; others not so much. Each story is impactful and worthy of sharing. These woman are brave pioneers, changed the world for the better and we can learn much from them. The title of this book is a slightly truncated version of a quote from Margaret Thatcher: “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.” Maggie is the first bio in this quick reading volume and I’ve already read it twice. Her story, along with Golda Meir’s, are two that were particularly interesting to me. Both of these women were considerably older than I was but were at the pinnacle of their careers in politics as I was beginning mine in publishing. Dealing with the old guard of male dominated norms existed in the UK & Israel politics and NYC publishing at the same time. Nikki faced the same challenge at the statehouse in SC and at the UN just a few years ago in very contemporary politics. Change can be very slow… Other bios include Otto Warmbier’s mom who continues to make North Korea pay for murdering her son, Amelia Earhart who is a feminist before her time and a fly girl extraordinaire, an ISIS sex slave survivor with a mind boggling story of victory and continued pursuit of ISIS, the first Olympic multi gold medalist winner, and others with equally stunning and encouraging stories. A book to be shared, discussed and reread, “If You Want Something Done” is going on my gifting list for Christmas 2022📚
