Aprašymas

The frank, funny, and formidable memoir of Christine Lagarde--the most powerful woman in Europe.

Born on New Year's Day in 1956--a "disappointment" to a mother who had expected a son--Christine Lagarde has spent her life proving the world wrong.

After being patronized and discouraged from pursuing a legal career, she went on to become the first woman to chair a major international law firm, France's first female Finance Minister, the first female Managing Director of the IMF, and the first female President of the European Central Bank.

In Lady First, Lagarde tells her story for the first time: a Normandy childhood shaped by fierce ambition and family tragedy; a career forged in rooms where she was often the only woman; and a decade spent helping steer the world through economic crises.

Unexpectedly funny and disarmingly candid, this memoir is for anyone who has ever been told to grit their teeth and smile. It offers a revealing look at what it takes to achieve and wield power in a world that was never designed with you in mind.
