The Belle of Ashby Street

Helen Douglas Mankin and Georgia Politics

Beschreibung

This biography of the first Congresswoman from the state of Georgia is more than the story of one woman's challenge of the political establishment. It also covers professional women in the modern South, southern liberalism in the New Deal era and beyond, and the gathering forces of racial change in the era preceding the civil rights movement.
