Non-Fiction Memoir
Christine Quinn, candidate for mayor of New York City, is
the first female and first openly LGBT Speaker of the New
York City Council. In her memoir, With Patience and
Fortitude, she shares the inspiring story of her life,
her career, and the city she loves. Speaker Quinn
talks about growing up in a middle-class, Irish family and
describes the people and events that have shaped who she is
and the beliefs she has dedicated her life to fight for.
After her mother died when Christine was 16 years old, she
began carving her own path, setting her sights on work that
would make a difference in the world. Yet she would
ultimately have to face coming of age in a world where both
women and gay people had no choice but to fight for their
dreams. Over time, she met those challenges both
personal and professional with patience and with fortitude.
Christine Quinn’s memoir includes original black-and-white
photos from her personal archive.
