Bella Abzug, Paperback

"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 interviews with excerpts from the influential feminist's unpublished memoirs to create a kind of conversation about the woman, the politician and the times in which she lived."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
