Kerry Chikarovski knew from a young age that she wanted to be a politician. Encouraged by a brief, highly memorable meeting on a Long Island beach with a young, dashing Robert Kennedy and inspired by a speech by John Howard in the early days of his political career, Chikarovski went on to become Leader of the Liberal Party in NSW in 1998.
'Chika' reveals her journey from an impressionable 14-year-old in Long Island to a strong, hardened woman who learnt to cope with some of the toughest and nastiest politics any female has ever encountered in Australia’s political history. A universal story about survival and learning to make a mark in a male-dominated field, this is a revealing insight into the messy, often cruel world of politics and the personal struggles, achievements, good times and bad times of a very inspiring and dedicated woman.
