Description
"Battling Bella Abzug was born bellowing! From her childhood in the Bronx to her years as a lawyer, activist, wife, mother, and congresswoman, Bella battled for justice and fairness for everyone. Inspired by her Jewish upbringing and wholehearted belief in tikkun olam--repairing the world--she spoke her truth everywhere she went. Even when it wasn't appreciated. Bella just kept on battling! Sarah Aronson and Andrea D'Aquino spotlight this trailblazer who helped kickstart the modern women's movement--with humor and passion--always in one of her trademark wide-brimmed hats. An unstoppable and unforgettable leader who showed the world a vision for the future--that a woman's place was in the house--the House of Representatives! Abzuglutely!"--Provided by publisher.
