A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world. With an entire hand gesture named after her (the \"Merkel Diamond\") and celebrated in a viral meme for sparring with Trump, Angela Merkel spent a decade economically and politically revitalizing her country. The first woman chancellor of Germany and one of the longest-serving European leaders ever, Merkel's quiet resolve, calculated confidence, and extreme privacy around her personal life have made her a feminist role model for the ages. \u003ci\u003eMerkel's Law\u003c\/i\u003e is a revelatory look at an unlikely vanguard, and at the country she led for sixteen years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo one is better positioned than \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy to pull back the curtain on the woman who engineered Germany's rise to wealth, power, and an economy worth 3.8 trillion in USD. Drawing upon an unparalleled well of sources close to Merkel, \u003ci\u003eMerkel's Law\u003c\/i\u003e traces her childhood in East Germany as the daughter of a clergyman, her meteoric rise to power, and her more recent public acclaim--as well as the numerous setbacks she faced along the way both from political rivals and from men in her own party who scoffed at her ambition. Painting a portrait of a political genius, savvy businesswoman, and model for modern power, \u003ci\u003eMerkel's Law\u003c\/i\u003e is not only the story of her life, but the lessons we can learn from it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelissa Eddy is a journalist based in Berlin who covers German business, economics, and politics for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times. \u003c\/i\u003eShe has covered Chancellor Angela Merkel since she entered office in 2005.
