Nancy Pelosi publishes new book “The Art of Power” about her tenure as Speaker of the House of Representatives

According to a statement shared with PEOPLE, The Art of Power shares Pelosi’s view of what it takes to make history. Pelosi did it herself when she became the first woman elected to lead the party in Congress in 2003, and later during her tenure as Speaker of the House (Pelosi served in the role twice). She stepped down as Speaker in 2023, but announced plans to seek re-election as House Democratic Leader in 2024.

During her tenure as Speaker of the House, Pelosi led efforts on a variety of issues, including the attempt to rescue the U.S. economy in 2008 and the fight to transform health care. Pelosi pushed major legislation through Congress, including the Patient Protection Act and the Affordable Care Act, and led efforts to craft and pass the American Rescue Plan during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pelosi will also reflect on key moments in her career, including the insurrection of January 6, 2021. The congresswoman will describe her firsthand experiences that day, including how she fought to bring the National Guard to the Capitol and how she later led the effort to investigate January 6.

Pelosi will also write about the harrowing 2022 break-in at her San Francisco home and its aftermath and impact on her family. Pelosi’s husband, Paul, was injured by an assailant during the break-in.

The Art of Power will highlight Pelosi’s “fighting spirit” that has cemented her reputation as a leading political figure.
