Presidents and senators called her for advice; her column ran in 400 newspapers; her books, starting with \u003ci\u003eMolly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?\u003c\/i\u003e, were bestsellers. But despite her fame, few people really knew her: what her background was, who influenced her, how her political views developed, or how many painful struggles she fought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Molly Ivins is a comprehensive, definitive narrative biography, based on intimate knowledge of Molly, interviews with her family, friends, and colleagues, and access to a treasure trove of her personal papers. Written in a rollicking style, it is at once the saga of a powerful, pugnacious woman muscling her way to the top in a world dominated by men; a fascinating look behind the scenes of national media and politics; and a sobering account of the toll of addiction and cancer. \u003ci\u003eMolly Ivins\u003c\/i\u003e adds layers of depth and complexity to the story of an American legend -- a woman who inspired people both to laughter and action.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Minutaglio\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eDallas 1963\u003c\/i\u003e, for which he won the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Research Nonfiction with Steven L.
