Una celebracion de AOC, la mujer mas joven en servir en el Congreso y su nueva superestrella.

No hace mucho, nadie podia imaginarse que una latina de veintiocho anos se postulase para el Congreso en representacion de Queens y el Bronx: era necesario enfrentarse a la maquinaria politica de la ciudad, casi exclusivamente blanca y exclusivamente masculina. Pero desde que Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez aparecio en la escena con toda su gloria, tweets y tendencia a romper todos los esquemas, el rostro de la politica del siglo XXI ha cambiado. Hoy, Ocasio-Cortez es la principal defensora del progreso, ganando apoyo entre sus colegas y generando admiracion secreta entre sus enemigos. Lucho contra un ex-presidente indignante y una esfera mediatica conservadora que la coloca bajo ataque constantemente. ?Por que? Porque temen su don de desvelar la verdad ante el poder.

Con ilustraciones, investigacion profunda y escritos tan puntuales como ella, la serie Reinas de la Resistencia rinde homenaje a esta fenomenal mujer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Part of the four-book Queens of the Resistance series, saluting some of the most beloved boss ladies in Congress: a celebration of AOC, the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress and its newest superstar

Not long ago, no one could even imagine a twenty-eight-year-old Latina upstart running for Congress representing Queens and the Bronx: It required facing the city’s nearly all-white, all-male political machine. But since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez graced the scene in all her bartending, tweet-talking, mold-breaking glory, the face of politics in the twenty-first century has changed. Today, Ocasio-Cortez is a foremost advocate for progress, whipping up support among her colleagues and gaining the secret admiration of her foes. She jousted with an outrageous president and a conservative media sphere that consistently places her under relentless attack. Why? Because they fear her gift for speaking truth to power.

With illustrations, deep research, and writing as endlessly quotable as she is, Queens of the Resistance pays tribute to this phenomenal woman.
