Love this book!! It is full of amusing anecdotes. Susa Page quotes dozens of people who knew Nancy well from scool days on. Ms. Page even went to the hill top town in Italy where D'Alessandros emigrated from & talked with someone who remembered Nancy's grandfather. Page even found a family photo in an archive that Nancy hadn't known about.
But as much as a wonderful warm human
family tale, the book is a primer on politics and how it used to tick and how it has evolved

About the author
Powerful female journalists writes about powerful female politician
Enjoyed reading Madam Speaker. There was much I did not know about and there were some errors that the author should correct before the next printing. I lived in San Francisco in the early 70s and was political involved. The minor errors in the book include her reference to the San Francisco City Council. San Francisco does not have a city council. She speaks about the Harvey Milk Democratic Club in SF, but not the Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club, which was the first LGBT Democratic club in the nation. Though I had moved to the Sacramento area by the time she ran for Congress, my heart still lived in San Francisco. The author doesn’t fully provide the in depth frustration of Pelosi, who had never held public office running against a gay man from a city with a large LGBT population. Pelosi has made huge contribution to the American people. The author should be applauded for writing a good bio. The author is from Wichita. If she is reading this, I have some stories to tell you about Wichita and how I made front page news. I had the pleasure of meeting Speaker Pelosi many years ago
