"Susan Ware's excellent biography of Molly Dewson restores one of Franklin Roosevelt's chums and an irrepressible battler for women in politics to her proper place in the history of the New Deal."-Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
"Rich, readable, and intriguing biography."-Estelle B. Freedman, Women's Review of Books
"Readers should welcome Ware's spotlight on Dewson, which widens to disclose wonderfully human views of FDR and Eleanor and brings to life many virtually forgotten feminists of an era that threatens to fade into gray."-Publishers Weekly
"Provides a lively and refreshingly concrete sense of everyday activities in reform and political circles. A wonderful account of the model of a modern political woman."-Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Times Literary Supplement
