Becoming Madam Chancellor: Angela Merkel and the Berlin Republic

Review Advance praise: 'Becoming Madame Chancellor is the first comprehensive study of how Angela Merkel inhabited the German Chancellery and in the process profoundly shaped society as well as Germany’s role in Europe. Meticulously researched and superbly written, the book follows Merkel’s trajectory from being a pastor’s daughter in former East Germany to becoming arguably the most powerful woman in the world. Ambitiously unpacking the ‘Method Merkel’ in domestic and international politics, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand contemporary German politics as well as those interested in gender, power, and political representation.' Sabine Lang, University of WashingtonAdvance praise: 'Joyce Marie Mushaben paints a fascinating and multifaceted picture of the ten times over ‘World’s Most Powerful Woman'. The book grasps the extent to which Merkel’s leadership has transformed the nation as a whole. Given her detailed, personal and first-hand knowledge about West German politics and culture, East German politics and identity, and German unification, as well as EU gender policies, Mushaben was in a unique position to write this important book.' Gabriele Abels, Chair for German and European Politics, University of TübingenAdvance praise: 'This is a unique contribution for policy makers as well as academics on the most influential female political leader of the twenty-first century. It reads like a political novel though it reveals a sharp analysis based on a carefully researched study. A must read for anyone interested in European politics, German politics before and after reunification. and contemporary feminism.' Agnes Hubert, EU gender expert and Professor on Gender and Social Inequalities, College of Europe, Bruges'This scholarly work fills a great lacuna. … Mushaben is extremely well acquainted with the inner workings of German politics but has retained her outsider’s perspective. This makes her book an especially interesting read even for those who are familiar with biographies of Merkel in German.' Gisela Dachs, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs'[A]n intelligent book which offers a number of original and thought-provoking interpretations.'
