Overview
The frank, funny and formidable memoir of the trailblazing 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 entire life proving the world wrong. From being patronized and warned off law in interviews, she became 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, Christine 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 the only woman; and a decade steering the world through economic crisis. This unexpectedly funny and disarmingly candid memoir is for anyone who has been told to grit their teeth and smile, and reveals what it takes to hold power in a world that was never built for you.
