Description: "After a career in government service spanning six presidents, from Lyndon B. Johnson to George H.W. Bush, Elizabeth Hanford Dole became widely recognized as a leading Republican politician in her own right after her 1996 speech at the GOP convention. In 1999 she spent six months campaigning for president before dropping out of the race due to a lack of adequate funds, and in 2002 she was elected U.S. senator from North Carolina. In this biography of Dole, the authors show how she has been able to advance the causes she cares about, as well as her political career, through her consummate skills as a public speaker."--Jacket.
