Description

"It’s never too early for girls and women to get involved in politics—and this book was designed to show them exactly how.... MacKendrick’s text is blunt and practical without ever feeling unkind; her matter-of-fact tone is motivating while insisting on self-reflection. Overall the book is useful and encouraging, making it an ideal read for girls with political ambitions. A comprehensive guide for young women interested in running for public office." — Kirkus Reviews
