Randy P. reviewed on 10/26/2006

A life of privilege disguised as a blueblood working girl - a bit glib, I suppose, but an interesting read about one of the most powerful women in DC in her day - there's a lot more about her for the first two-thirds of the book before she takes over the Washington Post after her husband (and WP publisher)'s suicide in the early '60s. The last third is almost entirely about the Post, through the Pentagon Papers, Watergate and labor disputes.
