“How did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, an unknown bartender and activist, become the youngest woman to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives and one of its most talked-about figures? And what is her possible future?” Those are the two biggest questions to be posed to Lisa Miller, Rebecca Traister, and Michael Kazin at the Leon Levy Center for Biography.
The discussion — using as its focus a stylish new biographical book about AOC from the editors of New York magazine, Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC — is to occur in a free online Zoom conversation on Wednesday, April 13, at 7:30 pm ET. Lisa Miller‘s contribution to the book is an account of AOC’s unlikely rise. Rebecca Traister contributed an essay explaining why AOC is an unprecedented figure in American politics. Miller and Traister, both writers for the magazine, will be joined by Michael Kazin, professor of history at Georgetown University and author of What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party.
