Yes She Can! Stories from Young Women in the Obama Administration

Ten women, all contributors to Y es She Can! 10 Stories of Hope & Change from Young Female Staffers of the Obama White House,   are on a mission to "share diverse stories of public service, in order to inspire others to serve."  In this anthology for young women by young women, the authors feature 10 never-before-told stories—one each from the women who joined government in their 20s with the hope of making a difference. Each woman recalls her personal experience of what it was like to literally help run the world.
