The Least Among Us: Waging the Battle for the Vulnerable

By Rosa DeLauro

Author is a sitting US congresswoman: U.S. representative Rosa DeLauro has served the people of Connecticut since 1991 and is known for her support for social programs including food stamps, social security, Head Start, unemployment, and Medicaid.

Praised by key Democratic leaders: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says, “There is no greater champion for America's women and families. I am awed and inspired every day by her passion, her spirit, her dedication and determination to fight for our values.” DeLauro authored an op-ed for the Boston Globe with Elizabeth Warren, published on May 11, 2015 about the TPP.

Media-savvy author: Congresswoman DeLauro speaks regularly to national media. Mark Bittman described DeLauro as “brave and beloved” in the New York Times. Politico says, “Rosa DeLauro has long been a champion of quirky causes, from the risks of arsenic creeping into the nation’s rice supply to the importance of senior aerobics.”

Speaking: DeLauro will take this book on the road.
