the claims of life, a new book by diana chapman walsh, traces the emergence of a young woman who set out believing she wasn’t particularly smart but went on to meet several tests of leadership in the american academy — a place where everyone wants to be heard and no one wants a boss.
the claims of life offers readers an unusually intimate view of a trustworthy leadership that begins and ends in self-knowledge. during a transformative 14-year wellesley college presidency, walsh advanced women’s authority, compassionate governance, and self-reinvention.
after wellesley, walsh’s interests took her to the boards of five national non-profits, galvanizing change. she kept counsel with nobel laureates, feminist leaders, and the dalai lama, seeking solutions to the world’s biggest challenge: preserving our planet.
