Trailblazer
Perseverance in Life and Politics
The first Black woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate tells her full story for the first time — from a childhood on Chicago's segregated South Side, to marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to making history in the halls of Congress, to representing America on the world stage.
​
Trailblazer is filled with poignant, powerful, and sometimes funny stories — about the people who shaped her, the fights that defined her, and the perseverance that carried her through. Including candid reflections on loss, controversy, and what it means to keep going when the path doesn't exist yet.
Published by Hanover Square Press (HarperCollins) · Available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook
