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, if not
the most important woman in politics in mid and late 20th-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 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. This biography
studies her work for nuclear disarmament, her activism against the
Vietnam War, and her successful bid for Congress in 1970. From
there the book details the myriad of issues with which she 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 is to follow which studies the rest of Abzug's
life from 1976 to 1998.
