„In Zeiten fragiler maskuliner Egos, die laufend zu neuen globalen Brandherden führen, unter denen vorrangig die Zivilbevölkerung leidet, sehnt man sich nach mehr Menschen wie der neuseeländischen Politikerin. Ihr Buch wird hoffentlich viele junge Politikinteressierte ermutigen, es ihr gleichzutun – für ihre Werte einzustehen und Empathie zum Politikum zu machen.“ – harpersbazaar.de
Jacinda Ardern: Ungewöhnliche Premierministerin
„Her book feels constructed for an international audience, eschewing domestic political detail for events that resonated globally – like the 2019 terror attack on a Christchurch mosque, after which she led the nation’s mourning with great sensitivity and rushed through gun control laws in a matter of weeks – and for the more universally relatable dramas of her private life.“ – theguardian.com
A "different kind of power" is possible – but also has its limits
„Her book is more about subjective self-doubt and empathy. She doesn’t critically examine her own policies. Nor does she express empathy for those who felt disadvantaged or excluded by them – granting as always that emergency measures had been necessary. And, as she heads further into an international career, there’s no expression of empathy for those who now need it most, be they children in Gaza or refugees in South Sudan.“ – theconversation.com
