Reviews
"In the dynamic mid-twentieth-century women's movement, Marlene M. Johnson stood out and stood up with clarity of vision and purpose. Her multiple public service initiatives propelled her to a national presence and then into international education leadership. This memoir of that leadership, together with the challenges of life-changing events, is told with the same refreshing candor and compelling courage with which she has led her path-breaking life. And it raises the spirits." --Judge Harriet Lansing, retired, Minnesota Court of Appeals "An essential document of the mid-century rise of women into American politics. In this memoir of a remarkable public life, Marlene M. Johnson braids a love story tragically turned into caregiving and the domestic devotion of guardian and advocate. She proves that faithfulness in love and commitment to the betterment of the world are not opposites after all." --Patricia Hampl, author of The Art of the Wasted Day "Marlene M. Johnson's story is one of fortitude, service, and great achievement, all told with humility in this highly readable volume. This is a compelling personal account of a woman who climbed the precarious political ladder in her home state and became an international leader in the field of higher education. Her leadership created a strong network of individuals and institutions that reinforced the values of democratic institutions and academic freedom based on critical thinking and objectivity. This fascinating success story is an important read for aspiring public servants, male or female." --J. Brian Atwood, former administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development; former dean, Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota "It may be a challenge for bookstores to shelve this book: under memoir/biography, women's history, business leadership, comparative health systems, politics, journal writing, romance, or suspense. In any category, it's a page-turner, from start-up to statehouse to international CEO. Rise to the Challenge evokes admiration and empathy for Marlene M. Johnson, a woman 'composing her life' thoughtfully and courageously, with good humor and resilience." --Elisabeth Griffith, PhD, author of Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality: 1920-2020

Synopsis
The inspiring life story of Minnesota's first woman lieutenant governor: breaking political ground, navigating patriarchal tradition, and persevering through great personal loss Marking a milestone for women in state government, Marlene M. Johnson became Minnesota's first woman lieutenant governor under Rudy Perpich's gubernatorial administration in January 1983. That same year, she met her husband, Peter, and their deeply loving relationship profoundly sustained her for twenty-seven years. Rise to the Challenge weaves these personal and professional stories together in a courageous portrait of dedication and leadership. Growing up in rural Minnesota, Johnson began organizing and advocating for change early, beginning with a campaign to introduce foreign languages into her high school curriculum. Pursuing a deeply felt commitment to improving the lives of others, she continued to sharpen her leadership skills throughout her life, participating in activist work in college, cofounding organizations to support women entrepreneurs and politicians, and eventually running an international education nonprofit. A stalwart supporter, her husband gave Marlene strength and encouragement to face the challenges of the political landscape and its gender biases. Then, in 2010, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that would change both of their lives. Learning how to be a medical advocate and, eventually, facing the sorrow of Peter's death, Marlene relied on the hard-fought resilience and belief in herself that Peter had helped her to develop. A story of learning and leadership in politics, business, and public service, Rise to the Challenge is a moving portrayal of spirit, perseverance, and grace in the face of daunting personal challenges, supported by unwavering faith in the public good.
