| Description | For more than fifty years, Bella Abzug championed the powerless and disenfranchised as an activist, congresswoman, and leader in every major social initiative of her time -- from Zionism and labor in the forties, to the ban-the-bomb efforts in the fifties, to civil rights and the anti-Vietnam War movements of the sixties, to the women's movement in the seventies and eighties, to environmental awareness and economic equality in the nineties. Presented in the voices of both friends and foes, of those who knew, fought with, revered, and struggled alongside her, this oral biography is the first comprehensive account of a woman who was one of our most influential leaders. |
