Pelosi / by Ball, Molly,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An intimate, fresh perspective on the most powerful woman in American political history, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by award-winning political journalist Molly Ball. She's the iconic leader who puts Donald Trump in his place, the woman with the toughness to take on a lawless president and defend American democracy. Ever since the Democrats took back the House in the 2018 midterm elections, Nancy Pelosi has led the opposition with strategic mastery and inimitable elan. It's a remarkable comeback for the veteran politician who for years was demonized by the right and taken for granted by many in her own party-even though, as speaker under President Barack Obama, she deserves much of the credit for epochal liberal accomplishments from universal access to health coverage to allowing gay people to serve openly in the military. How did a 79-year-old Italian grandmother become the greatest legislator since LBJ? Ball's nuanced, page-turning portrait takes readers inside the life and times of this historic and underappreciated figure. Based on exclusive interviews with the Speaker and deep background reporting, Ball shows Pelosi through a thoroughly modern lens to explain how this extraordinary woman has met her moment"--

Alexa! : changing the face of Canadian politics / by Kimber, Stephen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A biography of Alexa McDonough, former leader of the Nova Scotia and federal NDP. Alexa McDonough's impact on Canadian politics cannot be measured solely by election victories or seat tallies. As the first female leader of a mainstream Canadian political party, she helped transform Nova Scotia and Canadian politics. In the process, she transcended party affiliation and gender to become simply "Alexa" to Canadians across the country. In this authorized biography, veteran author Stephen Kimber chronicles Alexa's life and political career and with it, weaves a narrative of the changing attitudes towards women in politics, from her early battles as the lone female MLA in a hostile Nova Scotian legislature to her leadership of the federal NDP to her role as senior stateswoman in Jack Layton's shadow cabinet. Along the way, Kimber delves into McDonough's personal life to uncover the origins of her political career: her upbringing in a wealthy family committed to progressive politics, her tightknit circles of female friends, her personal metamorphosis from "wife-of" to "leaderof," and her emergence as a political leader whose importance goes beyond partisan politics. The result is an engrossing story of one of Canada's most beloved politicians, whose common touch and life-long advocacy of progressive causes made her a significant player in Canadian public life."-- Provided by publisher.
