She Dared to Succeed: A Biography of the Honourable Marie-P. Charette-Poulin
()
About this ebook
She Dared to Succeed (en français, Elle a osé réussir), plonge dans la vie d’une femme ayant brisé pendant plus de 30 ans de multiples plafonds de verre au sein des univers médiatiques et politiques canadiens. Bien connue du milieu de la radiotélévision, elle est propulsée à l’avant-scène politique avec sa nomination au Sénat du Canada (1995), puis son élection à la présidence du Parti Libéral du Canada (2006).
Pour y parvenir, elle a dû surmonter plusieurs défis : sexisme, préjugés à l’endroit des mères monoparentales et des femmes de carrière, écart salarial, harcèlement en milieu de travail. Surtout, elle a vécu l’opprobre réservé aux membres du Sénat– tous exonérés – ciblés dans le cadre du scandale des dépenses du Sénat (2012-2016) et témoigne du coût humain de ce triste chapitre de l’histoire canadienne.
Cette biographie, dotée d’une préface de l’honorable John Manley, est le fruit d’un travail de recherche impressionnant de la part de l’auteur, qui a non seulement longuement interviewé Madame Charrette-Poulin, mais qui mené 67 interviews avec plusieurs personnalités canadiennes, dont les très honorables Jean Chrétien et Brian Mulroney, les honorables Sheila Copps, Sharon Carstairs, Mike Duffy, Hugh Segal, Céline Hervieux-Payette, Vivienne Poy, Linda Frum, Sheila Fraser, de même que les juges Robert Desmarais et Robert Del Frate.
Elle a osé réussir... malgré tout.
Également disponible en en français (Elle a osé réussir)
Disponible en formats relié et broché, PDF et ePUB accessibles.
