⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A great read for anyone interested in books on American history, politics, or badass women.
I bought this because of the cover. Because I love this Max Mara coat she is wearing. It cannot be the stupidest reason I ever bought a book, but it's up there. This would still be lingering on my TBR shelf if it weren't for #BookSpin.
But the book itself is SO interesting. It's well written and flows well. I'm pretty impressed with it. The book ends with her announcing a certain planned impeachment in 2019.
#BookSpin done! @TheAromaofBooks
Full disclosure, I‘ve had this book checked out for almost a year (perks of working at the library oops), so I figured it was finally time to actually read it. I‘m three pages into the prologue and I‘m already sitting here like “yaaaaas Madam Speaker.” 😍🤷🏻♀️ #pelosi #mollyball #nancypelosi #madamspeaker #speakerofthehouse #resistancequeen #womeninpolitics #herstory #awomansplaceisinthehouseandthesenate #womenincongress

About a candidate: Pelosi
About a social movement: When They Call You a Terrorist
About the social safety net: This is Going to Hurt (about the NHS)
This biography is interesting, as I didn‘t know much about Pelosi as a person. The first part is written a little YA, but the writing steadily improves throughout the book. She has my upmost respect- it‘s incredibly clear that whether it is when she raised 5 kids without help or runs political strategy, she does what it takes to get the job done. I‘m shocked she began her political career at 47. Worthy of admiration, Pelosi stands her ground.
This book was great. I‘ve always admired Nancy Pelosi but didn‘t know a lot about her life before she ran for Congress. It was disheartening to learn that even she has to fight to be in the room sometimes, and has to work to have her voice heard, but there‘s a lot of inspiration to be found here. You get a real appreciation for her strengths, including those she learned from her mother and from being a mother herself. She is tough and smart!
Interrupting my reading plans to start this biography of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. I just learned that her first official public service post was on the San Francisco Library Commission. #FunFact
