Summary

"An anthology for young women by young women, featuring stories from ten inspiring young staffers who joined the Obama administration in their 20s with the hope of making a difference"--

Meet ten young women who were so inspired by Barack Obama's inclusive feminist politics that they decided to join his White House. Although they were technically the lowest ranked members, their high levels of responsibility will surprise you. As they discuss their work-- and their vision for the future-- readers will get an intimate look at Obama's presidency. -- adapted from Goodreads.com info
