Review By: Calviniah Kgautlhe
In this page turner book, Dr. Margaret Nasha explicitly gives insight into her life as an accomplished politician. In simple, straight forward English Language she candidly chronicles her life story from all facets of life; socially, emotionally, politically and otherwise. She shares her memoirs climbing up the political ladder from humble beginnings as an African girl child in a profound yet jocular manner.
Dr. Nasha shares how she has been able to transcend the glass ceiling that bars women in a predominately male dominated political environment. She relates her momentous experiences in foreign missions and how she was able to overcome challenges. Furthermore, Dr. Nasha openly shares the joy and challenges she encountered in her family life and how she was able to circumvent them.
Rich with personal experiences, the book is primarily dominated by her illustrious political career evident in her bold pronouncements on pertinent political matters in her ruling political party.
