Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced Thursday that she will have a new book out this fall.

Haley, who also served as the governor of South Carolina, revealed that the book will be titled “If You Want Something Done: Leadership Lessons from Bold Women” and will celebrate some of the women she has found most inspirational around the world.

St. Martin’s Press will publish the book October 4.

The book title draws on Margaret Thatcher’s quote, “If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”

“In the spirit of Thatcher’s quote, Haley offers inspiring examples of a range of women who worked against obstacles and opposition to get things done–including Haley herself,” a press release from St. Martin’s said.

“As a brown girl growing up in Bamberg, South Carolina, no one would have predicted she would become the first minority female governor in America, the first female and the first minority governor of South Carolina, or the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,” the press release added.

“That journey wasn’t an easy one,” the press release continued. “She faced many people who thought she didn’t belong – and told her so. She was too brown. Too female. Too young. Too conservative. Too principled. Too idealistic. As far as Nikki was concerned, those were not reasons to hold her back. Those were all reasons to forge ahead.”

The book will celebrate “women who dared to be bold,” including Thatcher, Israel’s former Prime Minister Golda Meir, first female United States Ambassador to the United Nations Jeane Kirkpatrick, human rights activist Cindy Warmbier, education advocate Virginia Walden Ford, and more.

The announcement of 50-year-old Haley’s book comes amid ongoing speculation that Haley is planning a 2024 presidential run.

Though she initially said in April 2021 that she would not run for president if former President Donald Trump was seeking re-election, she has since said that she would have conversations with him before running in 2024.

“In the beginning of 2023, should I decide that there’s a place for me, should I decide that there’s a reason to move, I would pick up the phone and meet with the president,” she said in October as she spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. “I would talk to him and see what his plans are. I would tell him about my plans. We would work on it together.”

She also said that though she believes there was fraud in the 2020 election, she did not “think that the numbers were so big that it swayed the vote in the wrong direction.”

“He has a strong legacy from his administration,” Haley said of Trump. “He has the ability to get strong people elected, and he has the ability to move the ball, and I hope that he continues to do that. We need him in the Republican Party. I don’t want us to go back to the days before Trump.”

Haley and Republican South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appear to be the only women on early unofficial lists of the GOP’s potential 2024 candidates.
