Book description
The first woman to serve in both houses of the New Mexico
legislature, Pauline Eisenstadt has witnessed many exciting moments in
the state's political history and made much of that history herself.
Her memoir takes readers to the floors of the House and Senate,
offering an insider's view of how New Mexico's government operates-or doesn't.
“I always had great respect for [Pauline's] integrity, honesty, and
leadership, and A Woman in Both Houses does a great job of conveying
her character, her concerns, and her profound affection for our state
and its citizens.”-Bill Richardson, former governor of New Mexico
“This colorful book offers a unique view from a seat in both the
House and the Senate. It is a poignant memoir of one of New Mexico's
woman legislator pioneers. Pauline is a true role model for aspiring
women leaders in our state and beyond and this book shows us
why.”-Diane Denish, former lieutenant governor of New Mexico
“I recommend A Woman in Both Houses to anyone who enjoys viewing New
Mexico politics from an insider's perspective.”-Senator Jeff Bingaman
