largely female-tradition of social and community service. For
many years, a professor of social work at the University of Chicago,

her professional career to benefit hospitals, universities, symphonies,
art galleries, and charities, many of them here in Washington,
DC.

looked high and low for a good textbook to use for the class I
will teach on "Women & Politics" in the fall at Samford University.

lies about what it means to be a woman in U.S. society, and also
how one's racial identity affects one's experience of womanhood.
