About this book

Author: Hansa Makhijani Jain Publication: Hachette Format: Paperback Pages: 189 pages 'Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you are not the last.' - Shyamala Harris When US presidential candidate Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris, senator and attorney, as his running mate in the race for the President's post, the world sat up in attention. For the first time in the country's history, a Black-Asian woman had emerged as a candidate for the most powerful offices in the land. And, when the Democratic Party won, the fire-brand leader became the first woman vice-president elect in the history of the United States. Ever since Biden's announcement, the questions have buzzed on: What is it that makes Kamala Harris perfect for the top job? Why does she attribute so much of her success to her Indian immigrant mother? And how did she manage to seize - and hold - the imagination of a nation in one of the most polarized and keenly contested elections in modern America?
