The Political Life of Bella Abzug, 1920-1976: Political Passions,
Women's Rights, and Congressional Battles, by Alan H. Levy, marks
the first full biography of Bella Abzug. Abzug was one of woman in
politics in mid- and late-twentieth-century America. Levy traces
the New York City world of Russian-Jewish immigrants into which
Abzug was born. He then examines her education through Columbia Law
School, her marriage, and her early work both as a labor attorney
and as an advocate for many controversial causes, including that of
an African-American falsely accused of raping a white woman in Jim
Crow Era Mississippi. Levy studies Abzug's work for nuclear
disarmament, her activism against the Vietnam War, and her
successful bid for Congress in 1970. From there, the biography
details the myriad of issues with which Abzug grappled as a Member
of Congress from 1971 to 1977, and ends with her close loss to
Daniel Patrick Moynihan in a bid for the U.S. Senate in 1976. A
second book, studying the rest of Abzug's life from 1976 to 1998,
is to follow.
