A devoted boyhood admirer of Fighting Bob LaFollette， I ve become， since reading this marvelous memoir， a grey-haired admirer of Belle. -- Studs Terkel "Before the Kennedys， before the Roosevelts， there was another great and determined liberal family. Among its members was Belle Case LaFollette， wife of Robert LaFollette， Sr.， and a true pioneer on everything from woman s suffrage to worker s rights to keeping the warriors at bay. I enjoyed the book immensely and learned much." -- John Kenneth Galbraith
