From the first Women's March the day after Trump's inauguration to the Blue Wave in the 2018 midterms to the flood of female presidential candidates in 2020 to the inauguration of Kamala Harris, women from across the ideological spectrum entered the political arena and became energized in a way America had not witnessed in decades. They marched, they organized, they donated vast sums of cash, they ran for office, they made new alliances. And they defeated Donald Trump. </p><p>Democratic women candidates learned that they could win in large numbers, even in red districts. Black women voters in 2020 surged in Georgia and in suburbs in key swing states. Women across the country voted in greater numbers than in any previous election, flipped the Senate, and ensured victory for the first female Vice President in the nation's history. While Democrats recorded impressive victories, Republican women delivered critical victories of their own.</p><p>From the White House to Congress, from activists to protestors, from liberals to conservatives, <em>Resistance</em> delivers the first comprehensive portrait of women's historic political surge provoked by the horror of President Trump. This is the indelible story of how American women transformed their own lives, vanquished Trump, secured unprecedented positions of power and redefined US politics decades to come.</p><p><em>Resistance</em> is essential reading for understanding the most important election in American history and the role women played in redesigning modern politics. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>From her respected positions as a columnist for the Washington Post and contributor to MSNBC, Rubin is uniquely situated to assess this political uprising and chronicle the role of women on the front lines in the war to claim gender equity and protect democratic values. The result is a keenly analytical appreciation for and deeply personal connection to the ways in which the modern American female electorate has been reawakened and reenergized to reimagine a more inclusive political landscape.--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Illuminating... a cohesive and wide-ranging look at how women led the fight against the Trump administration."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"A thoughtful study of the critical role of women in containing and defeating Donald Trump.... An excellent contribution to the literature of contemporary electoral politics." --<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br>
