She graduated magna cum laude from Wellesley College and received her law degree from Harvard University, where she was one of the fifteen female students to graduate in 1964. Hope later wrote a book about her time at Harvard Law School called Pinstripes & Pearls: The Women of the Harvard Law Class of '64 Who Forged an Old Girl Network and Paved the Way for Future Generations. Hope served as vice chair of the President's Commission on Organized Crime under President Ronald Reagan, her tenure spanning years in which federal prosecution of organized crime made some of its greatest strides in American history.

Gwen Ifill surveys the American political landscape, shedding light on the impact of Barack Obama's presidential victory and offering profiles of prominent leaders such as Deval Patrick and Cory Booker as well as up-and-coming African-American politicians. From a Publishers Weekly article: Ifill offers a stellar analysis of the black political structure and its future in American politics. President Obama is featured but does not dominate the text; Ifill focuses more intently on such figures as Rev. Jesse Jackson and Newark mayor Cory Booker, as well as Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts. Ifill is professional, authoritative, impassioned but never biased. Readers will be rewarded by a well-researched take on the implications of President Obama's election on the strongholds of African-American political power. More
