Bella Abzug (Paperback, First)

"A remarkable work of oral history [and] a fond, provocative testament to a remarkable life."* "A fabulous read about a breed of politician now largely extinct . . . Levine and Thom have crafted a history that brings to life one of the great political personalities of the twentieth century." --ALICE ECHOLS, "Bookforum

""Incorporates . . . interviews with excerpts from the influential feminist's unpublished memoirs to create a kind of conversation about the woman, the politician and the times in which she lived." --*SUSAN SALTER REYNOLDS, "Los Angeles Times

""Abzug was certainly a major player in our change in attitudes in the second part of the past century [and] Suzanne Braun Levine and Mary Thom give us a fascinating glimpse into [an] inspirational but undeniably peculiar period that is receding, all too quickly, into the past." --CAROLYN SEE, "The Washington Post

""[A] fluid, sharply edited book . . . Abzug was a force of nature, and the stories about her are consistently feisty."--JON DOLAN, "Time Out New York

""Explodes with the energy that Bella Abzug possessed." --DONNA BRAZILE
