It was first published in Mongolia in March 2013 to mark Park's swearing-in as South Korea's first female president. All 2,000 copies of the autobiography were sold out at the time, which put the book on the country's best-seller list.

Udriin sonin, a mass-circulation newspaper in Mongolia, reported that it was "no exaggeration" to say that there was no woman in South Korea who was more exalted than Park in terms of political stature. It also said Park's success is due to her "strong, decisive" character.

The Korean version of Park's autobiography was published in 2007.

It depicts her life as the eldest daughter of a former president who was assassinated in 1979, and a female politician in the male-dominated political arena. It also touches on her role as an acting first lady in the 1970s following her mother's shooting death in 1974.  (Yonhap)
