A sensitive collective biography of twenty-eight women New Dealers and...a description of their tactical means of operation...All can unite in thanking Ware for opening a uniquely political chapter in women's history and for revitalizing the historiography of the New Deal.
   --Journal of American History

This is an excellent book. The story it has to tell is a new and compelling one.
