More than a recap of congressional legislation or political gossip, Pat Schroeder writes candidly about her years in the House of Representatives. Over the past quarter century, she has helped shape the national political debate, and in the process has defined the role of woman in politics. She recalls with zest and candor the early years of struggling to be taken seriously by her Housecolleagues. She brings us great insight into other high-profile women in politics, and gives us surprising assessments of the presidents and House speakers she has served with. Full of vivacity, humor, and warmth, 24 Years of House Work is Pat Schroeder at her very best.
