描述
After serving in Congress for more than thirty years as both a congresswoman and a senator, Senator Boxer has proven herself to be a passionate advocate for significant issues of our time, including the military, civil rights, universal health care, and the environment. With a who's who of politics of the past three decades, Boxer shows all of the machinations that it takes to make government work, much of it off the record. Featuring figures beloved and reviled, Boxer's memoir takes us behind the scenes to show us what it has been like to deal with George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitch McConnell, as well as Tip O'Neill, the Clintons, Obama, and so many more. Raised in a Jewish, working-class neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY, Boxer was a journalist who decided she could make a difference and ran for local office in California, inspired to fight tooth and nail to help bring that American dream of "a more perfect union" into fruition.Behind closed doors in secret negotiating...

备用描述
"Four-term senator Barbara Boxer not only shares behind-the-scenes stories that will inspire and surprise, but she also shows readers how to apply her "art of tough" to their own lives. She learned the art from her parents, an immigrant and a first-generation American who refused to shelter her from the harsh realities of injustice, racism, and inequality. And over the course of a brief Wall Street career, (curtailed by the assassination of JFK, which convinced Boxer she needed to do something else to make a difference), a decade spent in the U.S. House of Representatives, and twenty-four years in the Senate, she refined it into a philosophy for achieving her goals while fighting for justice and defending her values. This intimate account of Boxer's life and guide to honing one's own tenacity pulls back the curtain on the at times private, at times uncomfortably public clashes Boxer had with major conservative figures, and explores the close relationships she forged with progressive figures such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as economic crises, two devastating wars, and the ongoing fight over greenhouse gases continued to threaten the livelihood of all Americans. A spirited autobiography, The Art of Tough will resonate with anyone who seeks to overcome the odds to live a bold, meaningful life."--Back cover of paperback edition

"One goal of this memoir is to inspire people to fight for change. It takes what I call the Art of Tough and I've had to do it all my life." -- Senator Barbara Boxer
Barbara Boxer has made her mark, combining compassionate advocacy with scrappiness in a political career spanning more than three decades. Now, retiring from the Senate, she continues the work to which she's dedicated 30 years in Congress. Her memoir, The Art of Tough , shares her provocative and touching recollections of service, and cements her commitment to the fight for women, families, quality, environmental protection, all in a peaceful world.
Sometimes lauded, sometimes vilified, but always standing tough, Boxer has fought for what is right even when her personal convictions conflicted with her party or the majority rule.
备用描述
The first lesson of tough
Love, California, and the war that changed everything
At home in the House
An unsettling time: AIDS, sexual harassment, and the Senate
From an asterisk in the polls to Senator
Crashing the old boys' club
The insanity of impeachment, a stolen election, the horrors of 9/11 and Iraq
Unforgettable colleagues, a lonely dissent, and the best election ever
The crash, leaders, sexual harassment 2.0, and the sudden partisanship of the environment
The end and a beginning.
