Here, in her own words, Julia Gillard reveals what life was really like as Australia's first female prime minister.
'I was prime minister for three years and three days. Three years and three days of resilience. Three years and three days of changing the nation. Three years and three days for you to judge.'
____________________
On Wednesday, 23 June 2010, with the government in turmoil, Julia Gillard asked Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for a leadership ballot.
The next day, Julia Gillard became Australia's twenty-seventh - and first female - prime minister. Australia was alive to the historic possibilities. Here was a new approach for a new time.
It was to last three extraordinary years.
This is Julia Gillard's chronicle of that turbulent time, a strikingly candid self-portrait of a political leader seeking to realize her ideals. It is her story of what it was like - in the face of government in-fighting and often hostile media - to:
Manage a hung parliament
Build a diverse and robust economy
Create an equitable and world-class education system
Ensure a dignified future for Australians with disabilities
And doing this all while meeting international obligations and building strategic alliances for the future. This is a politician driven by a sense of purpose - from campus days with the Australian Union of Students, to a career in the law, to her often gritty, occasionally glittering rise up the ranks of the Australian Labour Party.
Julia Gillard does not shy away from her mistakes, admitting freely to errors, misjudgements and policy failures, as well as detailing her political successes. This dazzling memoir is a reflection of what it means - and what it takes - to be a female leader in contemporary politics.
As prime minister Julia Gillard delivered nation-changing policies, including reforming Australian education, creating an emissions trading scheme, improving the provision of health, aged and dental care and restructuring the telecommunications sector.
In October 2012, Julia Gillard received worldwide attention for her speech in parliament on the treatment of women in professional and public life.
After departing politics, Julia Gillard has accepted roles at the University of Adelaide and the Brookings Institution and was appointed chair of the Global Partnership for Education, an international initiative made up of nearly 60 developing countries, donor governments, international organisations, the private sector and civil society groups
