Non-Fiction Memoir
“Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of
struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just
waiting; women were working. Never losing faith, we worked
to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are
created equal. For our daughters and our granddaughters
today we have broken the marble ceiling. For our daughters
and our granddaughters now the sky is the limit.” —Nancy
Pelosi, after being sworn in as Speaker of the
House
When Nancy Pelosi became the first woman
Speaker of the House, she made history. She gavelled 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.
