Nancy Pelosi : the life, times, and rise of Madam Speaker, aka the OG
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-182).

Part of a four-book series celebrating women in congress, this biography of the historic, trailblazing Speaker of the House describes how being the daughter of a Congressman and Democratic party organizer in Maryland prepared her to play the political game.

Nancy Pelosi's presence behind the Speaker's rostrum is an reminder that the old and tired guard, the cobwebbed patriarchy that has been Congress for ages, is a dying one. As the power broker and the boss, Pelosi is the gloved hand of the Democratic Party, a one-woman political machine who knows all the shots that need to be called. Jones and Trotman pay tribute to a woman who cut her teeth within the ranks of the Democratic party and climbed all the way to the top. -- adapted from back cover and page 4.
