The Woman at the Washington Zoo: Writings on Politics, Family, and Fate

The Woman at the Washington Zoo: Writings on Politics, Family, and Fate - Marjorie Williams Williams was a very good writer, incisive and aware. I was less enamored of her personality analyses of staffers from defunct administrations but entirely riveted by her brutally honest account of her struggle with lethal liver cancer. The agony of contemplating one's own death when one's children are still very young is recorded here in searing words of fire tempered by the grace and wit she ultimately brought to bear on her life.
