Judy Darcy ”Leading from the Heart” book launch event

Leading from the Heart BY JUDY DARCY – In Conversation with Iris Lloyd

In this rich and inspiring memoir, Judy Darcy recounts the remarkable turns that brought her from library worker to president of Canada’s largest labour union, and from there to groundbreaking legislator focused on many of our most pressing issues, including health care, the rights of immigrant workers and the toxic drug crisis.

“A personal landscape of trade unionism, feminism and progressive politics indelibly intertwined-written with such ease, such rollicking humour, such a torrent of anecdotal pageantry.”-STEPHEN LEWIS FORMER CANADIAN AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND UN SECRETARY-GENERAL’S SPECIAL ENVOY FOR HIV/AIDS IN AFRICA
