Tallulah’s book was a big success when published in 1952. As the daughter of the Speaker of the House of Representatives she campaigned for FDR in the 1930s and 40s. She campaigned on behalf of Harry Truman in 1948 and she would go on to endorse Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Baines Johnson in subsequent elections. Here is a photograph taken with Harry and Bess Truman in 1948, from the Truman Library.
