Renewal
From Crisis to Transformation in Our Lives, Work, and Politics
Princeton UP, 2023
What's inside?
Anne-Marie Slaughter’s personal renewal inspires her call for a renewed and better America.
Recommendation
Anne-Marie Slaughter, a US State Department veteran, academician, think-tank president and prolific author, describes her odyssey of personal renewal after a highly publicized leadership stumble almost ruined her career. She equates the stages of her journey with what she sees as necessary national change for Americans and America. She defines her position of “privilege,” the flaws in her prior thinking and the lessons she learned supporting underrepresented women. Slaughter tells a compelling story as she shares her vision of a renewed America that fosters increased social support, inclusion, grace, and the voluntary ceding of power and opportunity from those who currently have it.
