When she's not working with children in the crowded tenements in Hell's Kitchen, Frances throws herself into the social scene in Greenwich Village, befriending an eclectic group of politicians, artists, and activists, including the millionaire socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, the flirtatious budding author Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled reformer Paul Wilson, with whom she falls deeply in love. But when Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance, sparks fly in all the wrong directions. She thinks he's a rich, arrogant dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and a famous name. He thinks she's a priggish bluestocking and insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but over the next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership that will carry them both to the White House. Frances is destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, facing down the Great Depression as FDR's most trusted lieutenant--even as she struggles to balance the demands of a public career with marriage and motherhood. And when vicious political attacks mount and personal tragedies threaten to derail her ambitions, she must decide what she's willing to do--and what she's willing to sacrifice--to save a nation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Perkins, Frances, $d 1880-1965 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women cabinet officers $z United States $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dray, Stephanie. $t Becoming Madam Secretary $d New York : Berkley, 2024 $z 9780593437063 $w (DLC) 2023028914 941 $a 27 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20240608010748.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20240606010826.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20240604013119.0 952 $l VEPB334 $d 20240529010625.0 952 $l ZSPC475 $d 20240524012347.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012301.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20240503011650.0 952 $l WLPA185 $d 20240423120758.0 $m wlpa185 952 $l JMPC081 $d 20240417024055.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20240413011325.0 952 $l NJPD993 $d 20240412163105.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045442.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012854.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240409011841.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240403015536.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20240402013623.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012721.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012120.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20240402011545.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240402011424.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240402011011.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240402010513.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20240402010115.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20240327010148.0 952 $l LDPB975 $d 20240326152519.0 $m F DRA 952 $l SVPC124 $d 20240308124025.0 952 $l HHPC765 $d 20240302012409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DE04D4ED86411EE9510A68C40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
