520    "Flora Isabel MacDonald - politician, humanitarian, 
       adventurer, and role model for a generation of women - was
       known across Canada and beyond simply as Flora. In her 
       memoir, co-authored by award-winning journalist and author
       Geoffrey Stevens, she tells her personal story for the 
       very first time. Flora describes her amazing journey from 
       her childhood and secretarial school in Cape Breton 
       through her years in backroom Progressive Conservative 
       politics, to elected office and her appointment as 
       Canada's first female foreign minister. Finally, she 
       details her exceptional humanitarian work in India and in 
       war-torn Africa and Afghanistan. Flora was driven by a 
       lifelong conviction that there is nothing a woman cannot 
       achieve in a world controlled by men, and she pursued this
       conviction in everything she did, carving a path for women
       in Parliament. She won international acclaim for bringing 
       60,000 Vietnamese refugees to Canada, and for engineering 
       the rescue of six American hostages in Tehran in a top-
       secret collaboration with the CIA known as the Canadian 
       Caper. She exposed the inhumane treatment of inmates at 
       Kingston's Prison for Women. She defied male chauvinists 
       in the Progressive Conservative party by running for its 
       leadership, and she introduced the Employment Equity Act 
       to guarantee women equal access to federal jobs. Flora was
       brave. She was relentless. She was controversial. She was 
       a force of nature. In her own words and drawing from 
       interviews with those who knew her, Flora grants us 
       insight into this exceptional woman who changed the course
       of history."--|cProvided by publisher.
