A feminist in the White House : Midge Costanza, the Carter years, and America's culture wars / Doreen Mattingly. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Making It in a Man's World -- Vice Mayor of Rochester -- Sex, Power and the Campaign to Elect Jimmy Carter -- Window to the Nation : Midge Costanza Opens Up the White House -- Abortion, Controversy, and the Limits of Loyalty -- International Women's Year and the Battle to Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment -- "It Isn't Enough" : Fighting for Feminist Policy -- The Decline and Fall of Midge Costanza -- It Never Rains in California.
Midge Costanza was one of the unlikeliest of White House insiders. 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.
