Reviews
Interesting and crisply written, Bringing Home the White House not only uncovers the significant role of women in mid-twentieth century party politics but also reveals the ways in which women leaders grappled with questions of how to advance women's equality while acknowledging women's differences from men., Melissa Estes Blair writes with confidence, clarity, and great insight about women who worked with varying degrees of success to carve places for professional political women in the RNC and DNC. An important story told with great sensitivity., Yet, even as the work of these five professional women became a "hidden history," the playbook they set forth is still ascendant, making Blair's book a must-read for anyone interested in modern American politics., This book, which includes complete descriptions of the tactics, strategies, and struggles of the women's divisions to be taken seriously, adds a missing dimension to the study of midcentury presidential elections. Those interested in the intersection of race, gender, and popular culture as a political tool should find it noteworthy., For its insights and inspirations, Bringing Home the White House merits recognition as an engaging and important volume., Bringing Home the White House is a revelation. The story of midcentury party politics usually focuses on powerful men in smoke-filled rooms. But in this vital new book, Melissa Estes Blair has recovered the remarkable stories of the powerful women who, at a time when the ideal woman stayed at home, transformed the parties and the presidency.

Synopsis
In Bringing Home the White House , Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet largely unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of presidential elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence. In the middle decades of the twentieth century both major political parties had Women's Divisions. The leaders of these divisions-five women who held the job from 1932 until 1958-organized tens of thousands of women all over the country, turning them into the "saleswomen for the party" by providing them with talking points, fliers, and other material they needed to strike up political conversations with their friends and neighbors. The leaders of the Women's Divisions also produced a huge portion of the media used by the campaigns-over 90 percent of all print material in the 1930s-and were close advisors of the presidents of both parties. In spite of their importance, these women and their work have been left out of the narratives of midcentury America. In telling the story of these five West Wing women, Blair reveals the ways that women were central to American politics from the depths of the Great Depression to the height of the Cold War., In Bringing Home the White House , Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet largely unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents.
