ABOUT THIS BOOK

The story of a woman who dared to dream for herself and her country.

This is the inspiring account of Anandiben Patel’s journey, one that is dotted with courage and
determination. Fondly referred to as the ‘Iron Lady of Gujarat’, Anandiben took over as the 15th
chief minister of Gujarat after Narendra Modi became the prime minister of India in 2014. However, Anandiben is so much more than the woman who succeeded Modi. Dare, Dream, Do is also the story of a mother, a leader and a warrior.
In this memoir, Anandiben shares her personal and political journey—from her close association with Prime Minister Modi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Murli Manohar Joshi to her two years as the chief minister of Gujarat, from being on the verge of turning 75 and deciding to resign in August 2016 to now being the governor of Uttar Pradesh.
This is not just a political biography, but a story that gives insight into how we all can become true leaders. This is the story of a woman who endured many hardships and held her family together, and went on to become an amazing teacher, a women’s leader and transitioned into a force to be reckoned with. In her journey lies the story of someone who failed and thought of giving up but mustered the strength to keep walking towards her goal, taking small and steady steps. Hope and perseverance finally led to success.
This is the life of a fearless woman who lived her dreams.
