♥ Sandi ❣ 's Reviews > Pelosi

4.25 stars Thank you to Henry Holt & Company and Molly Ball for allowing me to read and review this book. Published May 5, 2020.


Never really knowing Nancy Pelosi - other than being proud woman to woman for her accomplishments in politics - I feel I have a much better sense of the person behind the achievements after reading this book.

She is definitely a hell fire - a self made woman. Her stamina is remarkable, her patience unprecedented, her intelligence and fortitude are beyond the normal person. She stands up for what she believes is right and for the American people and has no qualm telling anyone when they are in the wrong - then brings in the facts to prove it. However she has a remarkable trait of rarely holding anyone's error over their head - she wants to forgive and move on. She is a great organizer, a great ego-soother and has headstrong determination. One remarkable woman.

Along the way you get to see how Pelosi reacted with other officials - both in the House and the Senate - and how she worked with our last three Presidents - Bush, Obama and trump. However she holds her own personal life very close to the vest and lets little information leak. She does however attribute her drive and her mastery of strategy to the raising of 5 children - a family she is proud of and stays close to.
