Synopsis

Leader of the Scottish Conservatives Ruth Davidson gleans life lessons learned by inspirational women from around the world in a personal and inspirational book.

In Ruth Davidson's YES SHE CAN we meet world-beating women from fields as diverse as science, politics, the military, business and sport. They share their own journeys to the top - whether that's becoming Prime Minister, winning an Olympic gold medal or teaching male special forces how to fight. They share the bad times too, the challenges faced and difficulties to hurdle, explaining what they've learned along the way. We also see the author's own path as she tracks the societal shifts that have seen women advance - and discuss how far we've still got to go. Revealing, inspiring, informing, YES SHE CAN takes personal stories and deftly weaves them into an equalities manifesto for the modern age, a timely rallying call to make the life lessons of this book a reality for generations to come.

Goodreads review by Frances on November 08, 2018

Love Ruth Davidson and her book didn't disappoint. I thought when I bought it that it was an autobiography but in fact its a collection of insights from various different successful, high profile women. The one part if the book I felt was missing was an excerpt about how it's also fine for a women t......more

Goodreads review by Liz C on November 29, 2018

This is an excellent read. Well written and informative. She has taken the experiences of a number of high profile ladies to craft a bang up to the minute look at the changing role and opportunities for women in the world. Sandi Toksvig's experience as a parent stunned me as did the hateful social m......more
