Helen Gahagan Douglas's remarkable journey unfolds through the lens of her multifaceted life as a Broadway star, congresswoman, and progressive advocate. As a trailblazer in American politics, she notably challenged Richard Nixon for a Senate seat just thirty years after women secured voting rights. The narrative explores her connections with influential figures like FDR and LBJ, while examining the impact of McCarthyism on her career. Sally Denton vividly portrays Douglas as a pioneering force and a symbol of progressive ideals in a turbulent era.
