As one of the most prominent high-ranking female politicians of her day, Dianne Feinstein has always generated interest. But biographies of politicians rarely afford a glimpse behind the public persona, and this one is no exception. Although Roberts chronicles Feinstein's career and life events ably, he begs the question of what makes Dianne tick. To his credit, though, the "San Francisco Chronicle"'s political editor, who has covered Feinstein for 20 years, provides insightful political analysis and timely observations on the nature of women in power as well as a well-crafted profile, instead of a rounded portrait, of a particular political career. Its failings notwithstanding, the book will find an audience as long as its subject can.Book Details
