The Art of Power
Consider Nancy Pelosi’s historic tenure as Speaker of the House. What challenges did she encounter as a woman? How did she navigate these challenges?
Review Pelosi’s statements about herself and other political figures as leaders. What makes for a good leader? What makes for a bad leader?
The Art of Power is a political memoir (See: Background). What conventions of the political memoir does Pelosi rely on? In what ways, if any, does she depart from those conventions?
