Lady Bird Johnson: Our Environmental First Lady
"A pleasure to read, this engaging book persuasively establishes the significance of Lady Bird Johnson in two areas: her contributions in terms of staff, procedures, and tactics to the evolving role of the President's wife and her contributions to environmental policy and practice. In addition, Gould illuminates the forces that shaped her particular interests and that enabled her to wield influence in the White House and beyond. An excellent model and splendid kick-off for the Modern First Ladies series."--Susan M. Hartmann, author ofOther Feminists: Activists in the Liberal Establishment
