Seller's Description:
George Long (Jacket photograph) Very good in very good jacket. [8], 392 pages. Illustrations. Index. Presentation copy inscribed by the author. Marie Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs, usually known as Lindy Boggs (March 13, 1916-July 27, 2013), was a United States politician who served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and later as United States Ambassador to the Holy See. She was the first woman elected to Congress from Louisiana. She was also a permanent chairwoman of the 1976 Democratic National Convention, which met in New York City to nominate the Carter-Mondale ticket. She was the first woman to preside over a major party convention. Boggs was the widow of former Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives Hale Boggs, and the mother of Cokie Roberts (a television journalist); Thomas Hale Boggs, Jr. (a prominent lobbyist); and Barbara Boggs Sigmund, a mayor of Princeton, NJ and an unsuccessful candidate in the 1982 New Jersey Democratic senatorial primary election (won by Frank Lautenberg). Derived from a Kirkus review: At 24, Lindy Boggs came to Washington, D.C., from Louisiana with her newly elected husband, Democratic congressman Hale Boggs, in 1941. FDR was starting his third term, Europe was at war, and Pearl Harbor was around the corner. She didn't leave Washington until 1992, as Clinton was preparing to take office. Hale died in a plane crash in Alaska in 1972; Lindy Boggs was elected to his congressional seat and held it for 20 years. Boggs was at the political center through wars, domestic revolutions, and international upheaval. As a member of the House Banking and Currency Committee, she fought for and won important protection for women and minorities in the financial markets; she chaired the 1976 Democratic convention. The purple veil in the title refers to an incident early in her Washington life, when a change of clothes--from casual jacket and skirt to elegant black suit and hat with purple veil--gained her entrance to an important hearing. From that, she says, she learned to play the Washington game ``with confidence and authority and graciousness. '' Boggs has that other requisite of southern women, a spine of steel.
