Finland's Former PM Sanna Marin to Publish Memoir

Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin will share insights on her leadership with the release of her memoir, Hope in Action: A Memoir about the Courage to Lead, on Nov. 4, 2025. Scribner will publish the book, offering a personal account of Marin's four-year tenure. Elected at 34, Marin led an all-female coalition and guided Finland through significant changes, including joining NATO. Her leadership, marked by a firm stance against Russia's Ukraine invasion, also saw legislative action on climate change and social justice.

Despite her decisions, Marin's private life drew media scrutiny, with incidents that sparked debates on standards for public figures. After exiting politics in 2023, she joined the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change as a strategic counselor. Says Marin: "The world is increasingly complex. Geopolitical turmoil and rivalry are challenging the rules-based international order. Climate change and the loss of biodiversity are threatening our very existence. We are also witnessing pushback on gender equality and women's and girls' rights." (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
