An intimate, fresh perspective on the most powerful elected woman in office in American history, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by award-winning political journalist Molly Ball

The first biography of the Speaker of the House in a decade, Ball’s nuanced, page-turning portrait shows Pelosi through a thoroughly modern lens, based on exclusive interviews with the Speaker and deep background reporting. Since the Democrats took back the House in the 2018 midterm elections, much of the party, and the country, has suddenly decided that Nancy Pelosi is not the synthesis of everything that is wrong, outdated, and out of touch in the Democratic Party. Suddenly, she’s an icon. A hero of the women’s movement. The most qualified politician to take on Donald Trump. Pelosi has been reviled by Republicans and Democrats alike for much of her long career in Washington, yet she easily retook the speakership in 2019 with near unanimous support of her party.

Ball explores why one of the few examples of a woman holding such a high office—now for the second time—is also one of politics’ most complicated and controversial figures of the last thirty years. What Pelosi has managed to accomplish legislatively, how she is perceived by the public, and what the next couple of years hold for her career offer a unique snapshot of our current political moment and who we are as a nation.
