Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters, by Nancy Pelosi with Amy Hill Hearth. Doubleday,2008
Description
When Nancy Pelosu became the first woman Speaker of the House, she made history. She gaveled the House to order that day on behalf of all of America's children and said: "We have made history, now let us make progress." Now she continues to inspire women everywhere in this thought-provoking collection of wise words - her own and those of the important people who played pivotal roles in her journey.
In these pages, she encourages mothers and grandmothers, daughters and granddaughters to never lose faith, to speak out and make their voices heard, to focus on what matters most and follow their dreams wherever they may lead.
Perhaps the Speaker says it best herself in the Preface: "I find it humbling and deeply moving when women and girls approach me, looking for insight and advice. If women can learn from me, in the same way I learned from the women who came before me, it will make the honor of being Speaker of the House even more meaningful."
This is a truly special book to share with all the women you know. It is a keepsake to turn to again and again, whenever you need to be reminded that anything is possible when you know your power.
