When Pelosi became the first woman Speaker of the House, she made history. Now she continues to inspire women everywhere in this thought-provoking collection of wise words--her own and those of the important people who played pivotal roles in her journey.
Annotation: Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi recounts her life and career in politics in this memoir written to encourage young women to consider public service. Pelosi tells how, as the daughter of a congressman, she became politically aware at a young age, and how her participation with other Congressional women has had a positive effect on America and its politics.
