PELOSI

A New York Times Bestseller

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a newly minted icon, celebrated as a hero of the women's movement and a worthy foil to Donald Trump. The first biography of Speaker Pelosi 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.

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 30 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.
