Rebel Book Club Oxford x LEADING

Welcome to the RBC Oxford, where we'll be diving into the theme of Leading, through Jacinda Ardern's "".

Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she became a global icon for her empathetic leadership that put people first. She guided her country through unprecedented challenges, from the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks to a global pandemic. She advanced visionary policies to address climate change and child poverty. And all while juggling first-time motherhood in the public eye. This is the inspiring story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt changed our assumptions of what a leader can be.

Why we chose it: “Wonderful. As clear-eyed and luminous a depiction of childhood and family life as it is a brilliant insight into the making of a politician, a mother and a head of state." - Bill Bailey

Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing.

Try out the club with Eventbrite - new customers only. Ticket price includes access to the Oxford Rebel Book Club event plus a welcome drink (alcoholic + non-alcoholic options available).

Originally from Bilbao, Spain, Andie works in public relations for businesses in the renewable energy sector. In her free time, she's a voracious reader, book blogger and amateur runner. Having spent part of her 20s living in Baku and Moscow has made her drawn to Soviet history and she can't resist a good spy biography.

Andie believes that books are the answer to every question and there is no better tool to help us understand how the world and people work. She's leading RBC Oxford hoping to continue spreading the love for knowledge through a supportive and fun community that comes together for engaging conversations, growing a little with each book and discussion.

Andie's non-fiction recommendations:

1. Agent Sonya by Ben MacIntyre

2. Shoe Dog by Phil Knight

3. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
