"Jan Reid gives us new insight into Ann Richards, whose wit filled any room with laughter, whose candor chased away every smoke screen, whose heart was as big as Texas. Governor Richards was a leader you wanted to follow to a world where everyone could be a winner, and she never stopped trying to take us there. I loved her and so will you." President Bill Clinton, There's something interesting on almost every page of Let the People In. This is a terrific book about a fascinating woman., This book, which maintains a brisk pace and is filled with characters found only deep in the heart of Texas politics, is an indispensable addition to any collection specializing in Texas or state politics and feminist political figures. Both scholarly and accessible, it will appeal to almost any reader interested in the lives of American politicians.', Reid is a clever stylist and a terrific storyteller. He has a fine grasp of Texas politics and no ideological ax to grind. As an account of Richards the politician in Lone Star surroundings, Let the People In is about as good as it gets., Thoroughly researched and deftly written. . . . It should stand as the definitive biography of the forty-fifth governor of Texas for a long while., This book, which maintains a brisk pace and is filled with characters found only deep in the heart of Texas politics, is an indispensable addition to any collection specializing in Texas or state politics and feminist political figures. Both scholarly and accessible, it will appeal to almost any reader interested in the lives of American politicians., "Jan Reid gives us new insight into Ann Richards, whose wit filled any room with laughter, whose candor chased away every smoke screen, whose heart was as big as Texas. Governor Richards was a leader you wanted to follow to a world where everyone could be a winner, and she never stopped trying to take us there. I loved her and so will you." President Bill Clinton"Richards was a surprise choice for the Democratic convention. "I don't believe it either but I'm not going to turn them down," she told an aide after being invited to give the keynote speech. The book includes some interesting insights into how the speech was fashioned, reflecting a last-minute triumph of down-home Texanisms over blander rhetoric.... Richards's story also illuminates the challenge of being a woman in Texas politics during the late 20th century. She was subject to some jaw-dropping insults." - The Economist, November 3rd 2012"We can surely credit Reid for keeping alive Richards's swagger and humor, though: "I get a lot of cracks about my hair," he quotes her, "mostly from men who don't have any." One pithy line attributed to Richards exemplifies her irrepressible political vigor: "Politics is a lot like football-you have to be smart enough to play the game and dumb enough to think it's important." It's during such deliciously self-effacing spouts when she's punking her over-seriousness-some might recall her Doritos commercial with the likewise ousted New York governor Mario Cuomo during the 1995 Super Bowl-that Richards, and her biographer, shine. -Thomas Larson, Oxford American Magazine, There's something interesting on almost every page of Let the People In . This is a terrific book about a fascinating woman., Illuminates the challenge of being a woman in Texas politics during the late twentieth century. . . . Credit for the changing times belongs in large measure to the fortitude of Richards and others like her., Hers is a darned good story, and Reid, a veteran of Austin literary and political circles, tells it with sympathy, insight and a deep knowledge of contemporary Texas politics.

Synopsis

Winner, Coral Horton Tullis Memorial Prize, Texas State Historical Association, 2012Liz Carpenter Award for Research in the History of Women, Texas State Historical Association, 2012When Ann Richards delivered the keynote of the 1988 Democratic National Convention and mocked President George H. W. Bush "Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth" she instantly became a media celebrity and triggered a rivalry that would alter the course of American history. In 1990, Richards won the governorship of Texas, upsetting the GOP's colorful rancher and oilman Clayton Williams. The first ardent feminist elected to high office in America, she opened up public service to women, blacks, Hispanics, Asian Americans, gays, and the disabled. Her progressive achievements and the force of her personality created a lasting legacy that far transcends her rise and fall as governor of Texas.In Let the People In, Jan Reid draws on his long friendship with Richards, interviews with her family and many of her closest associates, her unpublished correspondence with longtime companion Bud Shrake, and extensive research to tell a very personal, human story of Ann Richards's remarkable rise to power as a liberal Democrat in a conservative Republican state. Reid traces the whole arc of Richards's life, beginning with her youth in Waco, her marriage to attorney David Richards, her frustration and boredom with being a young housewife and mother in Dallas, and her shocking encounters with Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter. He follows Richards to Austin and the wild 1970s scene and describes her painful but successful struggle against alcoholism. He tells the full, inside story of Richards's rise from county office and the state treasurer's office to the governorship, where she championed gun control, prison reform, environmental protection, and school finance reform, and he explains why she lost her reelection bid to George W. Bush, which evened his family's score and launched him toward the presidency. Reid describes Richards's final years as a world traveler, lobbyist, public speaker, and mentor and inspiration to office holders, including Hillary Clinton. His nuanced portrait reveals a complex woman who battled her own frailties and a good-old-boy establishment to claim a place on the national political stage and prove "what can happen in government if we simply open the doors and let the people in."", Drawing on more than 100 interviews with Ann Richards's friends and associates and her private correspondence, Let the People In offers a nuanced, fully realized portrait of the first feminist elected to high office in America and one of the most fascinat, Winner, Coral Horton Tullis Memorial Prize, Texas State Historical Association, 2012 Liz Carpenter Award for Research in the History of Women, Texas State Historical Association, 2012 When Ann Richards delivered the keynote of the 1988 Democratic National Convention and mocked President George H.
