According to Wikipedia, Lina Axelsson Kihlblom is a Swedish politician for the Social Democratic party, the minister for schooling in Magdalena Andersson's cabinet, and the first transgender cabinet minister in Swedish history. She transitioned in 1995. During her transition, she studied and graduated with a Candidate of Law, and learned foreign languages.
She worked in Brussels with European Union law, and in the Swedish school system. After discussing her leadership of Ronna School in Södertälje on a Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company programme, she became known as the "Super-principal". She was also a member of the 2015 governmental School Commission.
The book is an autobiographical account of four identities – La, Lina, Marjatta, and Jag – an honest and poignant story of awakening, identity, and change. La is born a boy but feels from an early age that something is not right. She's a girl but no one sees that. Lina wants to be the best in the class but she struggles with reading and writing difficulties. Marjatta is a trained multilingual lawyer but thrives in the grey corridors of the EU.
These three stories are interwoven with how I turn a school into a crisis. La, Lina, Marjatta, and I wrestle with their emotions while building their dreams, expectations, and destinations. Their desire is to achieve the goals of their dreams, their There Ahead, and a quest for a better self-confidence, greater self-esteem - I am good enough as I am - and to one day not have to ask the question: Will you like me now?
This is a book about taking fate into one's own hands and creating one's own future. It's not done in a jiffy; It's about trying, pretending, feeling, and trying again. Over and over again.
