That early exposure to income inequality fueled a passion for change that, in turn, led her to take on--and defeat--a ten-term incumbent to become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Now a target for the right, she is an inspiration to millions of millennial voters, women of color, and progressives. <p/> A celebratory biography that tells the blow-by-blow account of AOC's extraordinary rise from bartender to political rock star, <b><i>AOC </i></b>is a compelling look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: who she is, what she stands for, and the movement that she's energized.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Through the unique lens of a sister of color, Prachi Gupta tells the story of the phenomenal rise of an unlikely symbol of hope." --Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, founder of MuslimGirl.com <p/> "Supplemented by photos and pull quotes, Gupta's reporting is as sharp and galvanizing as her subject. A beautiful tribute to a contemporary firebrand." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/> "Prachi is an incredibly talented writer, and her book on AOC is excellent." --Hitha Palepu, founder of Hitha on the Go, CEO of Rho Pharmaceuticals, and author of <i>How to Pack: Travel Smart for Any Trip</i> and 5 Smart Reads newsletter<br>
