Herald it as the coming of age of woman power or shrug it off as mere symbolism to placate all and sundry - the fact is that the glass ceiling at the highest level has been shattered. Even so, with the passage of time the novelty of having a woman President is bound to wear off, and the sole benchmark to evaluate Pratibha Patil would be her performance as the first citizen of the country. A seasoned politician and proven Congress loyalist, Pratibha Patil has the unique distinction of having won every election that she has contested in the 34 years of her long political career.

This book traces the journey of President Pratibha Patil from the small town of Jalgaon to the majestic Rashtrapati Bhawan on Raisina Hill as she assumes office as the twelfth President of India, after one of the murkiest, no-holds barred presidential elections ever, making history in the sixtieth year of India's independence.

Book Description
The true story of one girl who said "no" to tradition, and the effect it had upon a nationIn a remote village in Bengal, 11-year-old Rekha and her large family lived by rolling handmade cigarettes. She frequently observed the abrupt departure of her friends to go live with their mothers-in-law, where they were often treated like slaves. In spite of her youth, Rekha was aware of the harm done to these little girls. When, in their turn, her parents found a husband for her, a man she didn't know, she flew into a blinding rage at the idea of being taken away from any further schooling for good. After that, Rekha went from village to village to tell her story, and especially to explain the tragic consequences of early marriages. Thanks to her, several dozen children found the courage to say no to this tribal tradition. Her story gained national attention with India's newspaper hailing her for accomplishing change that the India government was incapable of making. Her exemplary journey gained her the recognition of the highest courts in the land, she has had an audience with the Indian President, and she is a recipient of India's National Bravery Award. Written with the collaboration of Mouhssine Ennaimi, a distinguished reporter for Radio France, The Strength to Say No, translated from Ennaimi's acclaimed French edition, is a documentary portrait of one girl's monumental struggle.
