An
intimate, fresh perspective on the most powerful woman in American political
history, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by award-winning political journalist
Molly Ball
She’s the iconic leader who
puts Donald Trump in his place, the woman with the toughness to take on a
lawless president and defend American democracy. Ever since the Democrats took
back the House in the 2018 midterm elections, Nancy Pelosi has led the
opposition with strategic mastery and inimitable elan. It’s a remarkable comeback
for the veteran politician who for years was demonized by the right and taken
for granted by many in her own party―even though, as speaker under President
Barack Obama, she deserves much of the credit for epochal liberal
accomplishments from universal access to health care to saving the US economy
from collapse, from reforming Wall Street to allowing gay people to serve
openly in the military. How did an Italian grandmother in four-inch heels
become the greatest legislator since LBJ?
Ball’s nuanced, page-turning
portrait takes readers inside the life and times of this historic and
underappreciated figure. Based on exclusive interviews with the Speaker and
deep background reporting, Ball shows Pelosi through a thoroughly modern lens to
explain how this extraordinary woman has met her moment.
