Das Porträt einer selbstbewussten, starken und intelligenten Frau: Die erste deutschsprachige Biografie über Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris ist die erste Frau im Amt des Vizepräsidenten der USA. Dan Morain schreibt in dieser Biografie über ihren Weg zur mächtigsten Frau im Land. Als Journalist, der sie auf diesem Weg viele Jahre lang begleitet hat, versteht er wie kaum ein anderer, welche Ereignisse Kamala Harris prägten und zu den Überzeugungen führten, für die sie entschlossen einsteht. Er zeigt, was es für sie bedeutete, als Tochter einer Inderin und eines Jamaikaners im Kalifornien der 60er- und 70er-Jahre aufzuwachsen, wie sie erst Attorney General von Kalifornien, dann US-Senatorin und schließlich Vizepräsidentin an der Seite von Joe Biden wurde. Auch dass ihr Weg dabei nicht frei von Niederlagen und Rückschlägen war, wird in Dan Morains Biografie deutlich: Kamala Harris hat loyale Unterstützer und erbitterte Gegner. Sie wollte Präsidentin werden und ist 'nur' Vizepräsidentin geworden - und doch ist sie die Hoffnung vieler, vor allem schwarzer Amerikanerinnen, denn Kamala Harris' Weg zeigt, was sie in ihrem Land erreichen können. 'In vielen Dingen bist du vielleicht die erste, aber sorge dafür, dass du nie die letzte bist.' Shyamala Harris, oft zitiert von ihrer Tochter Kamala 'Es mag sein, dass ich die erste Frau in diesem Amt bin, aber ich werde nicht die letzte sein, denn jedes kleine Mädchen, das heute Abend zusieht, sieht, dass in diesem Land alles möglich ist.' Kamala Harris in ihrer Siegesrede am 7. November 2020
