"this book is the story of nancy pelosi and her rise to power as the speaker of the house of representatives. the easy-to-read but pretty short-cut recapitulation of how this remarkable woman was propelled to the top is doing a disservice to all of the author's achievement. she manages, however, to get her message across: know your power, and do not fall into the pitfall of still too many women, unterrating their possibilites. if the storyline is sometimes superficial and of the brink to being pathetic, the strong and probably demanding character of this politician shines still through. this book also underlines the part of the pioneer that the United States are still playing. and let's not forget that the first female lawyer of Switzerland had to cross the big pond to be allowed to university (which, sadly, didn't keep the authorities of the time to lock her into an asylum soon after she got back to her homeland). girls, know your power - and watch out for michelle obama!"
"I received this book at the California State Democratic Convention. I really enjoyed this autobiography of someone who was a wife & mother who made a career for herself, followed her own family values, and built onto the political career of her family.
I admire her even more now that I have read the book for her abililties and talents that she used to rise to the top in an arena that was not open to women.
