A review by lucyob
Pelosi by Molly Ball
general thoughts in a messy review:
this is a very good + well written biography. it does a really good job of setting up context of the political era around every event and is easy to follow. it goes in depth without dragging. if you have been fascinated by/interested in pelosi since the 2018 midterms but don’t know much about her as a person or her career, I would really recommend this. that being said, I wouldn’t really recommend this to people who aren’t pretty familiar with how US government works. knowing things like how the house works, the speakers responsibilities, and understanding the other leadership positions would be pretty vital to understanding this book. also knowing general things about american politics from the past ~40 years would probably help (luckily I can check off both these boxes so I really enjoyed this)
