It was a group diverse in background, age, experience, and ideology. From Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and \"the Squad\" to a group with national security backgrounds calling themselves \"the Badasses,\" from the first two Native American women \u003cbr\u003e to the first two Muslim women, all were swept into office on a wave of grassroots support. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e reporter Jennifer Steinhauer chronicles these women's first year in Congress, following their shift from trailblazing campaigns to the daily work of governance.

Or will this Congress, which looks a little more like today's America, truly be the start of something new? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Vivid and smart, \u003ci\u003eThe Firsts\u003c\/i\u003e delivers fresh details, inside access, historical perspective, and expert analysis as these women--inspiring, controversial, talented, and rebellious--do something surprising: make Congress essential again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4479428\"\u003eJennifer Steinhauer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643751344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643751344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL052000\"\u003eWomen in Politics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL006000\"\u003eAmerican Government | Legislative Branch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL030000\"\u003eAmerican Government | National\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42669930250477,"sku":"9781643751344","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_eec8bc1d-d40b-46cc-9087-52ddf6c5c38c.jpg?v=1649484267","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-firsts-the-inside-story-of-the-women-reshaping-congress-9781643751344","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
