“Never getting rid of faith, we waited through the many years of battle to achieve our protection under the law. But women weren't just hanging around; women were working. Never getting rid of faith, we performed to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equivalent. For our daughters and our granddaughters today we have shattered the marble ceiling. For our daughters and our granddaughters now the sky is the limit.” —Nancy Pelosi, after being sworn in as Presenter of the House
When Nancy Pelosi became the first girl Speaker of the House, she made background. She gavelled the home to order that day on behalf of most of America’s children and said, “We've made background, now let us make progress.” Now she continues to inspire women all over the place in this thought-provoking collection of smart words—her own and the ones of the key people who performed pivotal roles in her voyage.
In these pages, she encourages moms and grandmothers, daughters and granddaughters to never lose faith, to speak out and make their voices observed, to give attention to what counts most and follow their dreams wherever they may lead. Possibly the Presenter says it best herself in the Preface: “I think it is humbling and deeply moving when women and females plan me, looking for understanding and advice. If women can study from me, in the same way I learned from the women who emerged before me, it'll make the honor of being Speaker of the House even more meaningful.”
This is a truly special book to talk about with all the current women you understand. It is a keepsake to turn to again and again, whenever you need to be reminded that anything is possible when you understand your power.
