The "fine biography" and "compelling personal story" (The Wall
Street Journal) of arguably the most influential member of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt's administration, Marguerite "Missy" LeHand, FDR's
de facto chief of staff, who has been misrepresented,
mischaracterized, and overlooked throughout history...until
now.Widely considered the first--and only--female presidential
chief of staff, Marguerite "Missy" LeHand was the right-hand woman
to Franklin Delano Roosevelt--both personally and
professionally--for more than twenty years. Although her official
title as personal secretary was relatively humble, her power and
influence were unparalleled. Everyone in the White House knew one
truth: If you wanted access to Franklin, you had to get through
Missy. She was one of his most trusted advisors, affording her a
unique perspective on the president that no one else could claim,
and she was deeply admired and respected by Eleanor Roosevelt. With
unprecedented access to Missy's family and original source
materials, journalist Kathryn Smith tells the "fascinating"
(Publishers Weekly) and forgotten story of the intelligent, loyal,
and clever woman who had a front-row seat to history in the making.
The Gatekeeper is a thoughtful, revealing unsung-hero story about a
woman ahead of her time, the true weight of her responsibility, and
the tumultuous era in which she lived--and a long overdue tribute
to one of the most important female figures in American history.
