Sanna Marin

Suomen kaikkien aikojen nuorin pääministeri Sanna Marin (s. 1985) johti maatamme historiallisten kriisien keskellä. Muistelmateoksessaan hän kuvaa omin sanoin urapolkuaan ja elämäänsä, pääministerikauden haasteita ja nuorena naisjohtajana kohtaamiaan julkisuuskohuja sekä kansainvälistä huomiota. Hänen johtajuuttaan on määrittänyt pelottomuus muutoksen edessä ja rohkeus astua johtoon. Samaan hän haluaa kannustaa myös tulevia sukupolvia.

Sanna Marin, the world's youngest prime minister when she took office, shares her inspiring path to leadership and offers a bold vision for how to affect change in both our local communities and on a global stage. In Hope in Action, Sanna Marin takes readers on the extraordinary journey of her trailblazing career and shares her vision for a new kind of leadership. When she became Prime Minister of Finland at just thirty-four years old, Marin was the world's youngest serving prime minister at the time, captivating the world's attention with her progressive ideas and her boldness amidst major crises. Marin's story is one of resilience and hope. The first in her family to attend university, she broke barriers to become a global icon of progressive leadership. Her time as Prime Minister saw historic milestones. During Marin's term (2019-2023), she led Finland through the COVID-19 pandemic, and her government implemented many progressive reforms addressing climate change, social justice, and equality. She helped the country navigate neighboring Russia's devastating full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and Finland's rapid joining of NATO--the swiftest entry for any country in the alliance's history. Through vivid retellings of her experiences, Marin shares how she overcame significant political challenges, and how she coped with her personal life becoming public, like in an incident that sparked a media frenzy and prompted women including Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to express their support for Marin. Hope in Action is much more than a memoir--it's a call to action. Marin urges the next generation of leaders to bring their full selves to the job. Her story is an empowering testament to the opportunities we have to affect real change in our worlds.

SANNA MARIN blev vid 34 års ålder den yngsta statsministern i världen. Under sin mandatperiod ledde hon Finland genom covid-19-pandemin och hjälpte landet att navigera under Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina och Finlands historiskt snabba NATO-inträde. Vi får följa Sanna från radhuset i Birkala till världens strålkastarljus. Genom tvivel, förhandlingar och stenhård press, men också vänskap, föräldraskap och en envis tro på jämlikhet. Marin berättar också öppenhjärtigt om de uppmärksammade skandaler som delvis färgade hennes tid som statsminister och resonerar om vad reaktionerna säger om samhällets förväntningar på kvinnor i maktpositioner. SANNA MARIN är Finlands f.d. statsminister och ledare för Socialdemokraterna. Hon hyllas som en förebild för sitt progressiva ledarskap och blev historisk som Finlands längst sittande kvinnliga statsminister, då hon ledde en regeringskoalition bestående av enbart kvinnor. Hon jobbar sedan 2023 på Tony Blair Institute for Global Change som strategisk rådgivare till länder, regeringar och ledare i policyfrågor inom samhällsstyrning, teknologi, klimat och jämställdhet.
