Book Synopsis
Introduces five fascinating yet largely unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of the US’s most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence.

Trade Review
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." - Nicole Hemmer, director of the Carolyn T. and Robert M. Rogers Center for the Study of the Presidency, Vanderbilt University
