Pelosi by Molly Ball

4.0

I picked up Pelosi to take a deeper dive into her story as she steps down from the Speakership and winds down her historic career. I learned a lot I didn’t know about her early career and her family story - both the political dynasty at of Maryland she was raised in as well as her own story and experience as a mother (and how the discipline in her house helped her discipline her caucus!). Ball presents a clear thesis about Pelosi: she is a ruthless pragmatist, willing to focus on results regardless of image, for better or worse. I’m glad she’s been at the table of our government for much of my life.
