Politics, Partnerships, & Power: The Lives of Ralph E. & Marguerite Stitt Church

by Christine Wolf, Jay Pridmore

Overview

This is the very first biography of a twentieth century powerhouse couple who, with prescient and persistent methodologies and hearts, gave four decades of legislative service and established much of Illinois' dedicated political tradition. Spanning everything from the awkward dance of prohibition in Evanston to Marguerite Stitt Church's involvement in the creation of the Peace Corps — with a particular focus on her remarkable legacy as a pioneer for women in government — this historical nonfiction is both a resource and a gripping delight.

Editorial Reviews

Rich in historical context and well-researched detail, illustrating how this long series of events shaped the landscape of Chicago and national politics... Reading at times like a novel, this comprehensive work of history feels like an inspiring allegory about the American Dream, resulting in a historical work that tells a far greater story than local politics, and one that reveals the country's collective potential.
