A fascinating exploration of the private and public worlds of Molly
Dewson, America's original female political boss. In the first
biography ever written of Dewson, Susan Ware not only examines her
political career as a trusted member of the Roosevelt team
throughout the New Deal but also considers how Dewson's fifty-two
year partnership with Polly Porter and her woman-centered existence
strengthened her success as a politician. "Susan Ware's excellent
biography of Molly Dewson restores one of Franklin Roosevelt's
chums and an irrepressible battler for women in politics to her
proper place in the history of the New Deal."-Arthur Schlesinger,
Jr. "Rich, readable, and intriguing biography."-Estelle B.
Freedman, Women's Review of Books "Readers should welcome Ware's
spotlight on Dewson, which widens to disclose wonderfully human
views of FDR and Eleanor and brings to life many virtually
forgotten feminists of an era that threatens to fade into
gray."-Publishers Weekly "Provides a lively and refreshingly
concrete sense of everyday activities in reform and political
circles. ... A wonderful account of the model of a modern political
woman."-Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Times Literary Supplement Susan
Ware is assistant professor of history at New York University,
where she also coordinates the Women's History Program.
