by Suzanne Levine (Author)

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 interviews with excerpts from the influential feminist's unpublished memoirs to create a kind of conversation about the woman, the politician and the times in which she lived.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