No place for a woman : a life of Senator Margaret… par Janann Sherman
Excellent biography of Margaret Chase Smith that includes some particularly insightful sections on her involvement with the issue of women in the military during World War II, the 1948 Integration Act and the 1950s. Scholarly book with good endnotes and bibliography. There are other books on Smith, but this one pays particular attention to her involvment with the issue of women in the military.
Dr. Janann Sherman's work on Phoebe Omlie, an aviation pioneer and adoptive Memphian, is astounding. In her afterword, Dr. Sherman lays out just how much investigative research went into piecing together Phoebe's remarkable life. This book is a well-researched biography that places Phoebe Omlie and the larger history of female aviators in a national context.
3344. No Place for a Woman: A Life of Senator Margaret Chase Smith, by Janann Sherman (read Sept 6, 2000) I have a weakness for senatorial biography, and find it difficult to avoid reading any biography of a U.S. Senator I find. This is an unpretentious book, solidly researched but not exhaustively so. It is quite laudatory, but does say some critical things. Smith was not a great brain but she was a great working politician, ably assisted by her AA. Quite a satisfactory book, even tho I enjoy political history a little older than that covered by this book.… (plus d'informations)
