AOC coverIn 2018, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became the youngest woman ever to be elected to Congress. Her commitment to speaking truth to power and her ability to shape the national conversation have made her one of the most fascinating political figures of our times. The new book AOC: Fighter, Phenom, Changemaker recounts how a 28-year-old Latinx democratic socialist and bartender from the Bronx ousted a ten-term Congressman against all odds and the remarkable life story that got her there. AOC is a celebration of the congresswoman, examining who she is, what she stands for, and the movement that she’s building.

It’s time for the next edition of Book Riot’s Instagram-only feminist book club! We’re running the whole shebang on Instagram Live, and we want you to join us. Who is you? You is you! All of you, from any and all areas of the gender identity spectrum.

Head over to our Instagram account to see this quarter’s book pick, and to get the chat/reading schedule (or just look above)! We’ll be “meeting” on Instagram Live once a week from mid-December through early January to get chit chatty about the book, the immigrant experience, and all things feminism. See you there!
