A very interesting read. I have always wondered the life of regular people in White House.

Thia book sounds really fascinating. I think the relationship of gender and power and politics is really important and probably not talking about enough. .-= Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)´s last blog ..Pollan v. Kingsolver: A Food Writer Showdown =-.

Sounds like an interesting read. I never think about all of the nameless, faceless people who work in government jobs and deal with important issues and people and we don't know who they are or what their stories are. I think I would like this one! .-= Kathleen´s last blog ..I Kill Giants by Joe Kelley =-.

I think Stacy’s discussion of being a woman and the power she was around and the power she didn’t know *she* had would be fascinating. It’s interesting how men and women seem to be inherently different when it comes to power, and whether that’s culture or upbringing or something in our brains, I don’t know. But I love that Stacy is putting out for the public what *she* learned, because I’d love it if the next generation learned what she learned at an even younger age. Thanks for being on this tour, Nicole!

This is going on my list immediately!! Stacy is a cool name, especially when it is spelled correctly. And, I love politics and would love to read about that time from her point of view. Thanks for putting this on my radar. .-= Stacy´s last blog ..Digital Fortress, by Dan Brown =-.

There is a lot of Washington since she worked there but I felt like the strengths for me were really in her examination of her life and how she adjusted as a woman being surrounded by power and her coming of age and family background were really interesting as well. I saw some reviews on Goodreads complain that she talked way too much about stiff that wasn’t DC, but I loved it.

She loved George! He seems to be full of integrity and kindness. You won’t be disappointed in the way she felt about George.
