Who Is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

---

Who Is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? by Kirsten Anderson is an engaging biography of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the youngest woman ever elected to the United States Congress. Born in 1989 in the Bronx, New York, to a working-class Puerto Rican family, AOC’s story is one of determination, activism, and breaking political barriers. The book traces her journey from a driven student and community organizer to a national political figure advocating for progressive policies such as the Green New Deal, affordable healthcare, and social justice. It highlights her grassroots campaign that unseated a long-time incumbent and her influence on American political discourse. Written in accessible language for young readers, this biography provides an inspiring portrait of resilience, leadership, and the power of civic engagement, encouraging readers to believe in their ability to make meaningful change.
