About this book
An insider's look at how women defeated Donald Trump, based on interviews with Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Stacey Abrams, Nancy Pelosi, and many more.Ā
Bookended by Donald Trump's 2016 victory and his 2020 defeat, ResistanceĀ tracks a set of dynamic women voters, activistsĀ and politiciansĀ who rose up when he 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 spectrumĀ entered the political arena andĀ became 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.Ā And they defeated Donald Trump.
Democratic women candidates learned that theyĀ couldĀ win 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, fromĀ liberals toĀ conservatives,Ā ResistanceĀ 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 for decades to come.
