A letter about women and leadership

Framed as an open letter to a future woman president, Jennifer Palmieri’s book connects the 2016 election with a broader discussion of expectations for women in leadership. It considers how existing models of presidential authority have been shaped by men, then presents advice and a proposed blueprint for women candidates and leaders. The scope extends beyond politics: the letter also addresses women seeking to shape their lives and work across settings from the boardroom to the home. This framing makes leadership both a public question—how the country imagines a woman president—and a practical one concerning women’s ambitions and choices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Women interested in political leadership and candidacy
  • Readers exploring gender expectations in public and professional life

Book overview

Redefine the expectations for women in leadership roles with this #1 New York Times bestselling volume of inspiring advice by the former communications director for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Framed as an empowering letter from former Hillary Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri to the first woman president, and by extension, to all women working to succeed in any field, Dear Madam President is filled with forward-thinking, practical advice for all women who are determined to seize control of their lives-from boardroom to living room.

As a country, we haven't wrapped our heads around what it should look like for a woman to be in the job of President. Our only models are men. While wildly disappointed by the outcome of the 2016 election, Palmieri argues that our feelings-confusion, love, hate, acceptance-can now open the country up to reimagining women in leadership roles. And that is what Palmieri takes on in this book-redefining expectations for women looking to lead and creating a blueprint for women candidates and leaders to follow. Dear Madam President will turn the results of the 2016 election into something incredibly empowering for graduates, future female leaders, and independent thinkers everywhere.
