Born in Prague to Holocaust survivors, Hadassah Lieberman and her
family immigrated in 1949 to the United States. She went on to earn
a BA from Boston University in government and dramatics and an MA
in international relations and American government from
Northeastern University. She built a career devoted largely to
public health that has included positions at Lehman Brothers,
Pfizer, and the National Research Council. After her first marriage
ended in divorce, she married Joe Lieberman, a US senator from
Connecticut who was the Democratic nominee for vice president with
Al Gore and would go on to run for president. In Hadassah,
Lieberman pens the compelling story of her extraordinary life: from
her family's experience in Eastern Europe to their move to Gardner,
Massachusetts; forging her career; experiencing divorce; and,
following her remarriage, her life on the national political stage.
By offering insight into her identity as an immigrant, an American
Jew, a working woman, and a wife, mother, and grandmother,
Lieberman's moving memoir speaks to many of the major issues of our
time, from immigration to gender politics. Featuring an
introduction by Joe Lieberman and an afterword by Megan McCain, it
is a true American story.
