Impassioned civil rights activist, champion of women's rights, hard-driving legislator -- U.S. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton is known in Washington as the "Warrior on the Hill." "Fire in My Soul" is the story of Norton's extraordinary political career, told from a personal perspective.

Author Joan Steinau Lester met Norton in 1958 while they were both students at Antioch College. "Fire in My Soul" charts their longstanding friendship and tells of Norton's rise to leadership -- from her early on-campus activism to demanding a Senate hearing for Anita Hill to standing before the Supreme Court to uphold first amendment rights. Filled with scores of Lester's conversations and correspondence with Norton, interviews with Norton's colleagues and confidantes, and dozens of original photographs, "Fire in My Soul" is a compelling biography of one of the greatest political pioneers in American history.
