Refugees, environment, women's rights, employment, Europe ... Themes that dominate current affairs more than ever today, but also colored Miet Smet's political career. In this book, the 75-year-old Minister of State looks back on her life and work as a pioneering politician and icon of emancipation.

Looking back over the past decades, she has shown herself to be a political pioneer as a member of parliament and minister in many areas, and a role model for many, both inside and outside politics.
