Astonishingly, her story remains largely forgotten. With a disarming mix of charm and Tammany-hewn toughness, Rosenberg began her career in public relations in 1920s Manhattan. As FDR's unofficial adviser, Rosenberg soon wielded enormous influence-no less potent for being subtle. Her extraordinary career continued after his death. By 1950, she was tapped to become the assistant secretary of defense-the highest position ever held by a woman in the US military-prompting Senator Joe McCarthy to wage an unsuccessful smear campaign against her. Until the end of her life, Rosenberg fought tirelessly for causes from racial integration to women's equality to national healthcare. More than the story of one remarkable woman, The Confidante explores who gets to be at the forefront of history, and why. In this inspiring, impeccably researched, and revelatory book, Christopher C. Gorham at last affords Anna Rosenberg the recognition she so richly deserves. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Hoffman, Anna Rosenberg, $d 1902-1983. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945 $x Friends and associates. 650 0 $a Political consultants $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women political consultants $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 700 1 $a Richardson, Ann $q (Ann Marie), $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15385553?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9798765074794_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=451E2F84940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
