by RuthDavidson (Author)

Synopsis

'This book is for every daughter, every mother,every aunt and every niece... here are the life lessons learned by some of the world's mould-breaking women. Every single one of them showed that yes, she can.'

In Ruth Davidson's YES SHE CAN we meet world-beating women from fields as diverse as science, politics, the military, business and sport. They share their own journeys to the top - whether that's becoming Prime Minister, winning an Olympic gold medal or teaching male special forces how to fight.

They share the bad times too, the challenges faced and difficulties to hurdle, explaining what they've learned along the way. We also see the author's own path as she tracks the changes in society that have seen women advance - and discuss how far we've still got to go. Revealing, inspiring, informing, YES SHE CAN takes personal stories and deftly weaves them into an equalities manifesto for the modern age, a timely rallying call to make the life lessons of this book a reality for generations to come.

Author Bio

Ruth Davidson is the leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party and the MSP for Edinburgh Central. First elected in 2011, she won the party leadership later that same year, becoming - at the age of 32 - the youngest leader of a major political party anywhere in the UK as well as the first openly gay leader in UK history.

Prior to politics, Ruth worked as a journalist. Starting in newspapers, she moved into broadcasting. Spending the majority of her career at the BBC, she worked variously as a presenter, producer, reporter and documentary maker.

She lives in Edinburgh with her fiance, Jen and their cocker spaniel, Wilson. The couple are expecting their first child imminently.
