"When Nancy Pelosi asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress, Alexandra Pelosi answered: "Mother, get a life!" And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been. In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes what it takes to make history as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation. She describes the perseverance, persuasion, and respect that it took to succeed, but also the joy of seeing America change for the better. The Art of Power is about the fighting spirit that has always animated her, and the historic legacy that spirit has produced"-- Back cover.
