Illinois Democratic politics has recently produced the most skilled and inspirational politician in memory . . . and has also reminded us of the need for further reform. It is fitting, then, that the latest installment of the Chicago Lives series turns to Dawn Clark Netsch, a leading reformer of Illinois politics since the 1950s and the first woman major party nominee for governor of Illinois.

Industry Reviews

"Cynthia Bowman's biography records in colorful and fulsome detail the trailblazing life of Dawn Netsch--lawyer, professor, political activist, and public servant in government and numerous good causes, including Stevenson campaigns! Dawn has been a lifelong champion of civil liberties, social justice, and accountability in government and though not exactly one of the boys, she could shoot a game of pool, too. This faithful biography does more than recall the life of this remarkable woman. It recalls another time and politics now distant." --Adlai Stevenson III
