From a secular Jewish upbringing in 1960s Mexico City to her groundbreaking election as Mexico's first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum's journey is one of unwavering determination and a relentless pursuit of a better future. This biography delves into the multifaceted life of Sheinbaum, exploring the experiences and influences that molded her into a leader. It traces her path from a childhood steeped in intellectual curiosity and social activism, through her rigorous scientific training at UNAM and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, to her entry into the political arena.
The book examines Sheinbaum's impactful tenure as Secretary of the Environment for Mexico City, where she spearheaded innovative projects like the Metrobús, and her pivotal role in the rise of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). It delves into the controversies and triumphs of her mayorship in Tlalpan, including the tragic Colegio Enrique Rébsamen collapse, and follows her historic campaign and election as Head of Government. Her administration's priorities, policies, and responses to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Metro Line 12 collapse are explored in detail.
Finally, the book chronicles Sheinbaum's path to the presidency, from her resignation as Head of Government to her landslide victory in the 2024 election. It delves into her campaign strategies, policy proposals, and historic race against Xóchitl Gálvez. It concludes with an examination of her presidential transition, early days in office, and the challenges and opportunities she faces in governing Mexico and navigating a complex global landscape. This biography offers a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of a woman who has shattered barriers and dedicated her life to building a more equitable and sustainable society.
