The Art of Power: My Story as America's First Woman Speaker of the House is a non-fiction book authored by U.S. representative Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House from 2007 to 2023, and published by Simon & Schuster in 2024.

[2] According to the review aggregator on Book Marks, The Art of Power received generally mixed reception from critics, with 4 positive reviews, 1 mixed, and 1 negative.

[3] Writing for The Washington Post, Frances Stead Sellers praised the work as giving the reader "insights into the enduring effectiveness of Pelosi's leadership strategy", including a behind the scenes look at some of the most consequential events in politics.

[4] Sellers, however, noted Pelosi's tendency for "brushing over the issues she has been criticized for”, like the trading of stocks while in a position of power.

Rachel Cooke of The Guardian appreciated the breadth of Pelosi's observations and her ability to see both the good and the bad in her political opponents; Cook also wrote that "Pelosi isn't much interested in self-criticism; nor does her book explain, even slightly, how an 84-year-old woman continues to exert such influence on the Democratic party".
