But for a time during the seventies, this ""loud-mouthed, pushy little broad"" with no college education was a prominent focal point of the American culture wars. In this book, Doreen Mattingly draws on Costanza's life to tell a wider, but heretofore neglected, story of the hopeful yet fraught era of gender politics in late 70s Washington - a history that is not just important to US women's and presidential history but which continues to resonate in politics today. 606 $aPolitical consultants$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aFeminists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSex role$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCulture conflict$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1977-1981 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1960-1980 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical consultants 615 0$aFeminists 615 0$aSex role$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aCulture conflict$xHistory 676 $a305.42092 676 $aB 700 $aMattingly$b Doreen J.$f1962-$0881692 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465247803321 996 $aA feminist in the White House$91969123 997 $aUNINA
