Winning the Battle Against Myself: A Black Woman's Journey Through America's Corridors Of Power - Hardcover

by Trudi M. Morrison (Author)

AN INSIDER'S LOOK AT HOW WASHINGTON WORKS

What Hidden Figures was to the moon landing, Winning the Battle Against Myself is to the more mundane realm inside the Beltway. It will validate the experiences of the generation that lived the world of For Colored Girls Who Have considered Politics and inspire the next generation.

As the Supreme Court listens to arguments about race in higher education admissions, as America remains divided down racial lines, as the verdict on democracy hangs in the balance, as Congress questions the lack of an ethics policy for the Supreme Court of the United States, as Black two-parent families become extinct, and as a college education becomes unaffordable and undesirable by many; this book addresses the most critical issues of our day.

This inspirational memoir contains first-hand accounts of the inner workings of government and direct conversations and daily contact with some of America's former political leaders.

An unprecedented journey into the top positions in every branch of government

Dr. Morrison is the only person of any race or gender to serve in top positions in all three branches of our national government, despite her race and gender constantly complicating her consequential tasks.

Winning the Battle Against Myself is the inspiring story of how she persevered while remaining true to herself-as well

as a revealing look at how Washington really works, especially its pervasive racism, by the ultimate insider.

This book will show readers how to deal with the same ugliness she encountered along the way, what it takes to get things done once you're there, and how to enjoy being there.
