Althea's story is not one that you find in the headlines of mainstream media or the annals of political powerhouses, but it is one that deserves our attention, our respect, and, perhaps most of all, our reflection. Hers is a narrative of perseverance against unimaginable oddsof someone who dared to show up, stand up, and speak up, when others might have faltered. She was a black woman, transgender, from a working-class background, entering Boston politics at a time when each one of those identities carried the weight of societal prejudice.
This book is not just about politics in the traditional sense. It's about identityhow it can be both a barrier and a source of strength. It's about representationthe power of seeing yourself in someone who stands on the public stage, refusing to be erased. And it's about the impact that one person's determination can have on the broader fabric of American democracy. Althea Garrison's story reminds us that politics is not only about those who win elections. It's also about those who challenge the very idea of who gets to compete in the first place.
