TY - GEN AB - Soon after his first inauguration in 1934, New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia began appointing women into his administration. By the end of his three terms he had installed almost a hundred women as lawyers, board and commission members and secretaries, deputy commissioners, and judges. No previous mayor had done anything comparable. These 'Women of the La Guardia Administration' met frequently for mutual support and political strategizing. This work tells their stories.
