Resistance: How Women Saved Democracy from Donald Trump [Audiobook]

In the tradition of Shattered and Game Change, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin provides an insider’s look at how women across the political spectrum carried a revolution to the ballot box and defeated Donald Trump, based on interviews with key figures such as Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Stacey Abrams, Nancy Pelosi, and many more. In a compelling narrative, bookended by Donald Trump’s 2016 victory and his 2020 defeat, Rubin delivers an absorbing analysis of the women’s counter-Trump revolution. Resistance tracks a set of dynamic women voters, activists, and politicians who rose up when Donald Trump took the White House and fundamentally changed the political landscape.

From the first Women’s March the day after Trump’s inauguration, to the Blue Wave in the 2018 midterms, to the flood of female presidential candidates in 2020, to the inauguration of Kamala Harris, women from across the ideological spectrum entered the political arena and became energized in a way America had not witnessed in decades. They marched; they organized; they donated vast sums of cash; they ran for office; they made new alliances. And they defeated Donald Trump. From the White House to Congress, from activists to protestors, from liberals to conservatives, Resistance delivers the first comprehensive portrait of women’s historic political surge provoked by the horror of President Trump. This is the indelible story of how American women transformed their own lives, vanquished Trump, secured unprecedented positions of power, and redefined US politics decades to come.
