"Like her or not, agree with her or not, Schroeder is a brilliant woman with a superb sense of humor, and that comes across in Lowy's narrative."—The Boulder Daily Camera
"This biography is a must-read for us all. . . . It is a fly-on-the wall perspective of a quarter of a century of Schroeder's ground-breaking work on feminist issues in the most powerful male bastion of the world, but also author Penny Lowy's intrepid research and insightful perspective. . . . Read Schroeder's biography whether you are a Democrat or a Republican or an independent or a member of the Green Party. Or a total cynic about politics."—Colorado Woman News
"Author Joan Lowy provides a fairly balanced perspective, and does not gloss over mistakes and missteps. . . And it's good reading, too."—Colorado Central Magazine
"Lowy has done an excellent job delineating the ups and downs of the congresswoman's long career."—Rocky Mountain News
" Pat Schroeder is the best match between a quotable subject and a capable writer. Lowy's well paced work is enlivened because Schroeder would 'wield political ridicule like a whip' and her sallies don't date."—The Women's Review of Books
