About this listen

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, often known as AOC, wrote her name in the history books in 2018 when she became the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. Congress. Her fearless, meteoric rise from paycheck-to-paycheck to the House of Representatives and her tireless advocacy for a world inclusive of all peoples will fascinate listeners.

Critic Reviews

Although short in length (only 32 pages each), these text-heavy biographies are full of information with plenty of details for report writers and casual readers alike. The series title aptly brings some interesting people under one umbrella, including contemporary political figures, entertainment moguls, and historical individuals. Difficult or controversial aspects of the subject’s life are addressed (as in the bios for Malcolm X and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), ensuring that the text is balanced and not purely complimentary. VERDICT The appealing layouts, insets, sidebars with extra details, and color photographs on nearly every page will keep readers interested and engaged.

I enjoyed this short style narration on the life of AOC, It is an honour to learn about President AOC and her journey. A truly remarkable woman who achieved Tikkun Olam in American Politics despite great opposition. Despite it all she became the darling of the left and of the right, a unitary figure who believed like many that something stunk in Washington and it certainly wasn't the food.

Even those who were politically opposed to her preferred her in rather than the usual status quo politician who sleeps whilst at the wheel of America's democracy.

Indeed her achievements are so profound those who once opposed her reforms can no longer oppose them without become unelectable for good.

Not what I expected, but not too shabby either
