Ruby A. Black: Women in American Political History

Autor Maurine H. Beasley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 apr 2017
This book presents the story of Ruby A. Black, a feminist who broke new ground for women in Washington journalism in the 1920s and 1930s as a correspondent for a Puerto Rican newspaper and the first biographer of Eleanor Roosevelt. It offers access to the secret correspondence that shows how Black used her friendship with Roosevelt to advance the political career of Luis Mu oz Mar n, Puerto Rico's first elected governor. The book describes Black's effort, ultimately unsuccessful, to become both a well-regarded journalist and a political operative in the nation's capital, a feat particularly difficult for a woman. It contends Black's closeness to Roosevelt proved both a help and a hindrance to Black's stature as a journalist.

Descriere

This book explores the relationship of Washington journalist Ruby A. Black with two notable mid-twentieth-century figures: Eleanor Roosevelt and Luis Munoz Marin. Black's role in the political atmosphere surrounding the first lady brought much-needed attention to Puerto Rico and enhanced Roosevelt's position, but had a detrimental effect on Black's career.
