The Art of Tough: Fearlessly Facing Politics and Life
Description:
[*Read by the author - Barbara Boxer]
[Foreword Read by Kirsten Gillibrand]
In this long-awaited memoir from one of the most influential senators of our time, California's Barbara Boxer shares the inside account of her and the Democrats' battle for the soul of America.
''One goal of this memoir is to inspire people to fight for change. It takes what I call the Art of Tough and I've had to do it all my life.'' -- Senator Barbara Boxer
Barbara Boxer has made her mark, combining compassionate advocacy with scrappiness in a political career spanning more than three decades. Now, retiring from the Senate, she continues the work to which she's dedicated 30 years in Congress. Her memoir, The Art of Tough, shares her provocative and touching recollections of service, and cements her commitment to the fight for women, families, quality, environmental protection, all in a peaceful world.
Sometimes lauded, sometimes vilified, but always standing tough, Boxer has fought for what is right even when her personal convictions conflicted with her party or the majority rule.
