Series: The Public Square

From the acclaimed author of Unfinished Business, a story of crisis and change that can help us find renewed honesty and purpose in our personal and political lives.

Like much of the world, America is deeply divided over identity, equality, and history. Renewal is Anne-Marie Slaughter's candid and deeply personal account of how her own odyssey opened the door to an important new understanding of how we as individuals, organizations, and nations can move backward and forward at the same time, facing the past and embracing a new future.

Weaving together personal stories and reflections with insights from the latest research in the social sciences, Slaughter recounts a difficult time of selfexamination and growth in the wake of a crisis that changed the way she lives, leads, and learns. She connects her experience to our national crisis of identity and values as the country looks into a four-hundred-year-old mirror and tries to confront and accept its full reflection. The promise of the Declaration of Independence has been hollow for so many for so long. That reckoning is the necessary first step toward renewal. The lessons here are not just for America. Slaughter shows how renewal is possible for anyone who is willing to see themselves with new eyes and embrace radical honesty, risk, resilience, interdependence, grace, and vision.

Part personal journey, part manifesto, Renewal offers hope tempered by honesty and is essential reading for citizens, leaders, and the change makers of tomorrow.

Reviews for Renewal: From Crisis to Transformation in Our Lives, Work, and Politics

[Slaughter] admirably. . . examine[s] her leadership flaws, biased assumptions and social privilege, inviting the reader into her painful process of discovery and renewal. . . . She is particularly effective in describing her evolution as an outspoken feminist who is forced to face up to the ways in which her advocacy for her own tribe - White, educated women - left her blind to the struggles of many other, less-advantaged women. ---Jane Eisner, Washington Post
