Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"As long as people are reading this book, Bella will be with us still." —Gloria Steinem

"A vigorous biography of politician and activist Bella Abzug... D’Aquino’s expressionistic ink, colored pencil, and wax crayon illustrations match Aronson’s verve and admiration, spotlighting Abzug in vivid reds and depicting her in open-mouthed poses to demonstrate her relentless campaigning for social change.  An adoring and inspirational life story, as ardent as its subject."—Kirkus Reviews
