Marin’s book traces her journey through Finnish politics, her government’s handling of the Covid pandemic, and Finland’s historic move to join NATO. After losing the 2023 election, she stepped back from Finnish politics >>>>>>> >>>>>>> (wtf!) and took a strategic role at the Tony Blair Institute, focusing on international issues and public advocacy.
You are recalling Sanna Marin, Finland’s former prime minister, who recently released her memoir, “Hope in Action: A Memoir About the Courage to Lead.” While Marin is expected to earn from book sales and public speaking, her background is not from a wealthy or traditional political family. In fact, she was raised by her mother and her mother’s same-sex partner, coming from a modest, working-class background in Tampere, Finland, and was the first in her immediate family to finish high school. Her political rise was independent—her father was not involved in Finnish national politics, but rather struggled with alcoholism and was mostly absent from her upbringing.
