Writer and former San Francisco Bay Guardian culture editor Caitlin Donohue has released a new book for young adult readers about women in politics, titled “She Represents: 44 Women Who Are Changing Politics ... and the World.” The book profiles political figures from the Bay Area, including Barbara Lee, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, and from around the world and offers politically aware teens a reframing of the election season. But Donohue said the book is decidedly not for fangirls and takes an often critical look at the lives and actions of women with political power.
Donohue will be discussing “She Represents” at Litquake on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 3:30 p.m.
