Representative Maxine Berman's account of life in the male-dominated Michigan State legislature. Saucy, shocking, outrageous, but never dull. Here is the story of one woman working with the good-old boys--whether they want her around or not.
Berman takes us behind the scenes as issues unfold and deals are made. The legislative process is described from the inside out, along with all the dirty little secrets. She exposes the fraternity of male lawmakers who are uneasy and unsure of their female counterparts--who resent their presence, and hardly know what to do about them or how to act.
A veteran of over ten years in the Michigan House of Representatives, Berman has faced the deceit and prejudices, the games and ambiguity, the blatant sexism that runs wild within the political power structure. And she tells all!
