Description: THE PINK LADYThe Many Lives ofHelen Gahagan Douglas by Sally Denton First edition published in 1999 by Bloomsbury Press Helen Gahagan Douglas (1900-1980) was an American actress and politician. Her career included success on Broadway, as a touring opera singer, and in Hollywood films. In politics, she was the third woman and first Democratic woman elected to Congress from California; her election made California one of the first two states (along with Illinois) to elect female members to the House from both parties. In the 1950 United States Senate election in California, she unsuccessfully ran for the United States Senate, losing to Republican Richard Nixon. That campaign became symbolic of modern political vitriol, as both Gahagan's primary opponent Manchester Boddy and Nixon referred to her as "pink right down to her underwear", suggesting Communist sympathies. She was married to actor Melvyn Douglas This is a hardback book with dustjacket, about 9" by 6", 240 pages, with eightpages of b/w photos.
