The Art of Power | Nancy Pelosi

Audiobooked and skipped a few chapters; needed a “female leader” for the #AsheCoNCReadingChallenge. #June2025 Book52

ChaoticMissAdventures I hate when people say this but I found her lack of humility throughout this book a bit jarring. I felt throughout she was saying never in her career has she made any mistakes. It is a biography and she can portray herself however she wants but I didn't think it was done with much self reflection. 2w
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - I actually was cognizant of your thoughts on this as I listened. I could agree and yet I also didn‘t get an impression that she was over boastful. And she is right about the current regime wanting to wreck tradition. 2w
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - reading your comment again: “I hate when people say this” What do people say? Do you mean being critical of women being TOO humble or NOT ENOUGH but men don‘t get the same criticism? 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare yes, totally, I hate to hear or say that women should be humble, men never get that criticism. I think in general women need to be more loud and proud about their work, but I also think we should own our mistakes. I am glad to hear you don't really agree. I might need to read some of it again. 2w
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - well, just know… I am not a close follower of her at all. I am newer or lapsed follower of congresspeople in specific. So I really came to this wondering why, for example, my father hates-her-with-a-passion. So I was inclined to like her version of things , ifyouknowwhatImean 😏 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare ha! Yes the more certain people hate some politicians the more I like them. My big complaint with her is she needs to pass the torch fully. But that is a bigger general political issue. 2w

Pelosi narrates her book highlighting her most momentous events in the last 4 decades. She starts off with her husband Paul‘s attack, then covers 9/11 and the Iraq War, the 2008 recession, health care and the Affordable Care Act, Jan 6 then wraps it up with the AIDES quilt and a little insight to her home city, San Francisco. I really appreciate her hard work and the decades she‘s spent fighting to make our country better. ‘For the children.‘

Mehso-so

Biographies are always hard to judge. I feel like people should be allowed to tell their stories the way they want but I really found this lacking. The chapters are not chronological, but they also do not seem to build on each other. Which makes it feel like a hodgepodge of stories.

Overall it is fine (if you are not looking for humility or humbleness, which I think is okay). Really reminded me how awful Bush 2.0 was.

Nancy Pelosi shattered the marble ceiling when she became the first and only female Speaker of the House. At 46, her run for Congress led to one of the most storied political careers in the history of the United States. In her new book, Pelosi takes us through her career, leadership, and roles in some of the most pivotal issues and events over her decades of service.

This is more of a showcase of the major events and legislation that Pelosi has lived and worked for. Her strategy is preparation, steadfast values, and knowing what can win and what won‘t. I wanted more about her life and she‘s not a writer, but she commands so much respect from me that I can only give her 5 stars.
