In the spirit of Margaret Thatcher's renowned quote, "If you want something done, ask a busy woman," Ambassador Nikki R. Haley presents inspiring examples of women who have overcome obstacles and opposition to achieve remarkable accomplishments. Growing up as a brown girl in Bamberg, South Carolina, no one could have predicted that Haley would become the first minority female governor in America, the first female and the first minority governor in South Carolina, or the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Her journey was far from easy. She faced countless individuals who doubted her abilities and deemed her unfit for the roles she pursued. They criticized her for her skin color, gender, age, political beliefs, and idealism. However, Nikki saw these attributes as strengths rather than hindrances. She drew inspiration from trailblazing women throughout history who had the courage to be different and lead. This personal and captivating book celebrates ten remarkable women who dared to be bold, ranging from household names like Margaret Thatcher and Israel's former prime minister Golda Meir to lesser-known leaders like human rights activist Cindy Warmbier, education advocate Virginia Walden Ford, civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, and many more. Woven with stories from Haley's own childhood and political career, "If You Want Something Done" will inspire the next generation of leaders to overcome challenges and pursue their dreams with determination and resilience.
