Despre Resistance carte
In the tradition ofShatteredandGame Change, Washington Postcolumnist Jennifer Rubin provides an insider’s look at how women across the political spectrum carried a revolution to the ballot boxand defeated Donald Trump, based on interviews with key figures such as KamalaHarris, Amy Klobuchar, Stacey Abrams, Nancy Pelosi, and many more.
In a compelling narrative, bookended by Donald Trump’s 2016 victory and his 2020 defeat, Rubin delivers an absorbing analysis of the women’s counter-Trump revolution. Resistance tracks a set of dynamic women voters, activistsand politicianswho rose up when Donald Trump took the White House and fundamentally changed the political landscape. From the first Women’s March the day after Trump’s inauguration to the Blue Wave in the 2018 midterms to the flood of female presidential candidates in 2020 to the inauguration of Kamala Harris, women from across the ideological spectrumentered the political arena andbecame energized in a way America had not witnessed in decades. They marched, they organized, they donated vast sums of cash, they ran for office, they made new alliances.And they defeated Donald Trump.
Democratic women candidates learned that theycouldwin in large numbers, even in red districts. Black women voters in 2020 surged in Georgia and in suburbs in key swing states. Women across the country voted in greater numbers than in any previous election, flipped the Senate, and ensured victory for the first female Vice President in the nation’s history. While Democrats recorded impressive victories, Republican women delivered critical victories of their own.
From the White House to Congress, from activists to protestors, fromliberals toconservatives, Resistance delivers the first comprehensive portrait of women’s historic political surge provoked by the horror of President Trump. This is the indelible story of how American women transformed their own lives, vanquished Trump, secured unprecedented positions of power and redefined US politics decades to come.
Resistance is essential reading for understanding the most important election in American history and the role women played in redesigning modern politics.
