In the tradition of Notorious RBG, a lively, beautifully designed,
full-color illustrated celebration of the life, wisdom, wit,
legacy, and fearless style of iconic American Congresswoman Maxine
Waters. "Let me just say this: I'm a strong black woman, and I
cannot be intimidated. I cannot be undermined. I cannot be thought
to be afraid of Bill O'Reilly or anyone."--Maxine Waters To
millions nationwide, Congresswoman Maxine Waters is a hero of the
resistance and an icon, serving eye rolls, withering looks, and
sharp retorts to any who dare waste her time on nonsense. But
behind the Auntie Maxine meme is a seasoned public servant and
she's not here to play. Throughout her forty years in public
service and eighty years on earth, U.S. Representative for
California's 43rd district has been a role model, a crusader for
justice, a game-changer, a trailblazer, and an advocate for the
marginalized who has long defied her critics, including her most
vocal detractor, Donald J. Trump. And she's just getting started.
From her anti-apartheid work and support of affirmative action to
her passionate opposition to the Iraq War and calls to hold Trump
to account, you can count on Auntie Maxine to speak truth to power
and do it with grace and, sometimes, sass. As ranking member of the
House Financial Services Committee and one of the most powerful
black women in America, she is the strong, ethical voice the
country has always needed, especially right now. Reclaiming Her
Time pays tribute to all things Maxine Waters, from growing up in
St. Louis "too skinny" and "too black," to taking on Wall Street
during the financial crisis and coming out on top in her legendary
showdowns with Trump and his cronies. Featuring inspiring
highlights from her personal life and political career, beloved
memes, and testimonies from her many friends and fans, Reclaiming
Her Time is a funny, warm, and admiring portrait of a champion who
refuses to stay silent in the face of corruption and injustice; a
powerful woman who is an inspiration to us all.
