Overview

Meet the audacious Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A fighter, a phenom, a force, in 2018 AOC became the youngest woman ever to be elected to the US House of Representatives--and from that moment on, she's continued to inspire millions of women, millennial voters (and voters-to-be ), and liberal Democrats with her activism, her resolutions like the Green New Deal, her willingness to speak truth to power, her fire and commitment.

A Fall 2019 drop-in title, AOC the book is a lively, photo-filled celebratory biography. It tells a classic underdog story: A passionate young woman of Puerto Rican heritage grows up acutely aware of income and racial inequality. She waits tables and works as a bartender to help her family make ends meet. Then she mounts a grassroots campaign and defeats a ten-term incumbent--and becomes a leader among a record number of women elected to public office in 2018.

In less than a year in office Ocasio-Cortez has become a political rock star, with a massive social media presence--9 million followers and growing--and a megaphone as big as any on the Hill. Written by Prachi Gupta, a savvy political journalist, AOC inspires readers with Ocasio-Cortez's remarkable life story and a clear and compelling look at who she is, what she stands for, and the movement that she's energized.
