Eva Moskowitz is a fighter with a reputation for having "sharp
elbows"— if that’s a synonym for getting the job done, she’ll
take it. A born and bred New Yorker, former City Councilmember,
and "charter czarina," Moskowitz has taken on powerful unions and
politicians to establish and grow her astonishingly effective and
popular charter school program in four of the city’s five
boroughs.

In this unabashedly candid memoir, Moskowitz tells of how she
became a forward-thinking education entrepreneur and her fight to
establish nearly three dozen schools—activism that has made her
into one of the most polarizing figures in New York City and
beyond. Now, having established a remarkable, even unprecedented,
track record for guiding the city’s most disadvantaged children
to high academic performance, Moskowitz addresses the battles she
has won and lost, writing candidly about the people who seek to
undermine her work—most notably New York City Mayor Bill de
Blasio—and celebrating the powerful allies who have aided her
cause, including former Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor
Andrew Cuomo.

Moskowitz’s insightful memoir is a deeply felt personal story and
an impassioned call to action that bluntly identifies failing
policies and the alarmingly powerful forces arrayed against
improving an education system that is both deeply dysfunctional
and prejudiced.
