The Art of Power
The Art of Power: My Story as America's First Woman Speaker of the House is a non-fiction book authored by U.S. representative Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House from 2007 to 2023, and published by Simon & Schuster in 2024. A memoir, The Art of Power is Pelosi's second book, following Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters (2008). CompositionThe Art of Power was announced by Simon & Schuster on April 18, 2024. Prior to The Art of Power, Pelosi wrote Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters (2008), a motivational memoir.[1] In interviews promoting the book, Pelosi stated that the book is not a memoir, but rather, observations from someone who participated in some of the most consequential moments in America.[2] ReceptionAccording to the review aggregator on Book Marks, The Art of Power received generally mixed reception from critics, with 4 positive reviews, 1 mixed, and 1 negative.[3] Writing for The Washington Post, Frances Stead Sellers praised the work as giving the reader "insights into the enduring effectiveness of Pelosi's leadership strategy", including a behind the scenes look at some of the most consequential events in politics.[4] Sellers, however, noted Pelosi's tendency for "brushing over the issues she has been criticized for”, like the trading of stocks while in a position of power. Rachel Cooke of The Guardian appreciated the breadth of Pelosi's observations and her ability to see both the good and the bad in her political opponents; Cook also wrote that "Pelosi isn't much interested in self-criticism; nor does her book explain, even slightly, how an 84-year-old woman continues to exert such influence on the Democratic party".[5] References
