She earned a law degree and paid her way through school by working as a waitress. By 1982 Claire had set her sights on the Missouri House of Representatives. Typically, one voter whose door she knocked on said: \"You're too young; your hair is too long; you're a girl....Go find yourself a husband.\" That door was slammed in her face, but Claire always kept pushing--first as a prosecutor of arsonists and rapists and then all the way to the door of a cabal of Missouri politicians who had secret meetings to block her legislation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this candid, lively, and forthright memoir, Senator McCaskill describes her uphill battle to become who she is today, from her failed first marriage to a Kansas City car dealer--the father of her three children--to her current marriage to a Missouri businessman whom she describes as \"a life partner.\" She depicts her ups and downs with the Clintons, her long-shot reelection as senator after secretly helping to nominate a right-wing extremist as her opponent, and the fun of joining the growing bipartisan sisterhood in the Senate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the day she was elected homecoming queen in high school, Claire has loved politics and winning. Her memoir is unconventional: unsparing in its honesty, full of sharp humor and practical wisdom, and rousing in its defense of female ambition.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Plenty Ladylike: A Memoir | Claire McCaskill | Hardcover | 9781476756752 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1763614","offer_id":49287639892120,"sku":"1763614","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51XLoeoOy9L.jpg?v=1781893548","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/plenty-ladylike-a-memoir","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
