The Political Life of Bella Abzug, 1976 1998 is the second part of
the first full biography of Bella Abzug. Alan H. Levy explores the
political life of one of the most important women in politics in
mid- and late-twentieth-century America. This second part takes up
Abzug s life from the point in 1976 when she narrowly lost her bid
for the New York Democratic Party s nomination for the U.S. Senate.
The biography follows her subsequent failed effort to win the
Democratic Party s nomination for Mayor of New York City in 1977,
her leading a controversial National Women s Convention in Houston
in late 1977, her failed attempt to return to the U.S. Congress in
1978, and her conflicts with President Jimmy Carter and his
administration. The biography then traces the efforts in which
Abzug was engaged to regain political prominence, and her work on
behalf of women at both national and international levels. Through
the events in Abzug s life, Levy explores tensions that surrounded
the contrasts between political principles, which idealized a world
in which gender posed no barriers to any human effort, and
political views, which sought to extol and develop notions of
gender and of ideas about its special meanings in human affairs and
politics."
