A riveting inside look at the women behind the headlines.In the November 2018 midterms, the greatest number of women in history were elected to Congress. It was a group diverse in background, age, professional experience, and ideology. And from Alexandria OcasioCortez and the Squad to a group with national security backgrounds calling themselves the Badasses, from the first two Native American women to the first two Muslim women, all were swept into office on an enormous wave of grassroots support.Here, New York Times reporter Jennifer Steinhauer chronicles these womens first year in Congress, following their shift from trailblazing campaigns to the daily work of governance. In committee rooms, offices, visits back home with their constituents, and conversations in the halls of the Capitol, she probes the question: Will Washington, with its hidebound traditions and overpriced housing and petty power struggles, change the changemakers? Or will this Congress, which looks a little more like todays America, truly be the start of something new?Vivid and smart, The Firsts delivers fresh details, inside access, historical perspective, and expert analysis as these womeninspiring, controversial, talented, and rebelliousdo something surprising: make Congress essential again.
