YES SHE CAN is a book recently written by 10 inspiring young staffers who joined Obama's administration in their 20s with the hope of making a difference.
The book is an intimate look at Obama’s presidency through the eyes of some of the most successful, and completely relatable, young women who were there. Full of wisdom they wish they could impart to their younger selves and a message about the need for more girls in government, these recollections are about stepping out into the spotlight and up to the challenge–something every girl can do.
