Nancy Pelosi has just announced that she will step aside as House leader at the end of the 117th Congress—though she plans to remain in the House as a lawmaker. Pelosi was the first woman to lead the House of Representatives.
by Time Magazine’s Molly Ball is a quote from Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar that speaks volumes about the woman second in line for the presidency:This is just one of many reasons that House Speaker Pelosi is one of the women I admire most in the world.For starters, she beats the boys at their own political maneuvering and manipulating: It was Pelosi who banned smoking in Congress, quite literally eliminating the old smoke-filled rooms where men made all the decisions.
The intraparty and legislative maneuvering and backroom politics are spiced up with direct quotes from Pelosi, as well as comments about her from colleagues. Ball also describes Pelosi’s wardrobe choices for each history-making moment in her career, and there have been many. Ball’s documentation of how Pelosi leads, how she wins and how she uses her power is ultimately a portrait of a woman who fully embraces her personal gifts, owns them and uses them effectively—not for herself alone, even though she certainly knows how to wield power to win a legislative battle or even her own reelection campaign.multiple times—but it took Pelosi decades to finally make the cover of the national news magazine in 2017. .
Now 80, she could have retired at the top of her game years ago and enjoyed being a grandmother. At an age when many women would choose to leave the battlefield—and making policy and passing laws in this deeply divided democracy remains a daily battle—Pelosi is driven by a singular vision of her role at this critical point in our history, and this stirring book is all the proof we need of that.
