Straight from the Heart - My Life in Politics and Other Places (Paperback)

Straight from the Heart is Ann Richards s story, told with the candor and spicy humor that were her trademarks. Born in a tiny town near Waco, Texas, she entered politics when her husband wouldn t and went on to become state treasurer, the first woman elected to statewide office in Texas in fifty years. She had her victories and her battles (the breakup of a thirty-year marriage and a bout with alcohol), but her love of Texas and Texas politics made her who she was.
This extraordinary memoir by one of the nation s leading politicians proves the wisdom of her observation that women can have a good and wonderful life, but that it only begins when they accept responsibility for it, not when they expect someone else to make it happen. Richards talks openly about the course of her life and the choices she made on the way. Her hard-won triumphs and savvy political career provide inspiring examples for all.
