Description
This intimate biography of the pioneering Texas governor is "required reading for political junkies--and for women considering a life in politics" ( Booklist ). When Ann Richards delivered the keynote of the 1988 Democratic National Convention and mocked President Bush--"Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth"--she became an instant celebrity and triggered a rivalry that would alter the course of history. In 1990, she won the governorship of Texas, becoming the first ardent feminist elected to high office in America. Richards opened pathways for greater diversity in public service, and her achievements created a legacy that transcends her tenure in office. In Let the People In, Jan Reid offers an intimate portrait of Ann Richards's remarkable rise to power as a liberal Democrat in a deeply conservative state. Reid draws on his long friendship with Richards, as well as interviews with family, personal correspondence, and extensive research to tell the story of Richards's life, from her youth in Waco, through marriage and motherhood, her struggle with alcoholism, and her shocking encounters with Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter. Reid shares the inside story of Richards's rise from county office to the governorship, as well as her score-settling loss of the governorship to George W. Bush. Reid also describes Richards's final years as a mentor to a new generation of public servants, including Hillary Clinton.
