Summary

This updated edition includes new chapters covering the Whakaari/White Island tragedy, New Zealand's Covid-19 response, Labour's historic landslide election victory in 2020, and Ardern's shock resignation in early 2023. Duff also looks at the increasingly misogynistic pushback experienced by Ardern, as pandemic-induced tensions led to a rise in social and political polarisation in Aotearoa. She's still widely adored on the world stage, but back home has Ardern really been the transformational leader she aspired to be, and what enduring mark might she leave on the political landscape? This is an engrossing and powerful exploration of one of the most intriguing political stories of our time - telling us as much about one woman's ascendancy as it does about the country that elected her.
