Stacey's Abrams Book: The Biography of Stacey Abrams
Stacey Abrams is one of the most prominent American politicians of the 21st century. She is a tireless voting rights activist and her efforts to address voter suppression - and increase voter participation - have been widely credited with boosting voter turnout in her traditionally Republican-leaning home state of Georgia. Her efforts helped fellow Democrat Joe Biden narrowly win the state in the 2020 United States presidential election, and Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock narrowly win Georgia’s 2020-2021 U.S. Senate elections – which gave Democrats a narrow control of the U.S. Senate.
Born the second of six siblings in Madison, Wisconsin to Robert and Carolyn Abrams, Stacey Yvonne Abrams moved with her family to Gulfport, Mississippi and Atlanta, Georgia, watched both her parents earn graduate degrees and become Methodist ministers, graduated valedictorian of her high school class, was hired as a congressional campaign speechwriter at age 17, graduated from Spelman College, interned at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, earned her master’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin, earned her Juris Doctor law degree from Yale Law School, worked as a tax attorney in Atlanta, represented the 89th district and served as the minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives, narrowly lost the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, founded Fair Fight 2020, and is credited with boosting Democratic votes in Georgia and with helping to register 800,000 new voters across the state.
This short book tells the intensely human story of a woman who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
