My Dear Lady: The Story Of Anna Ella Carroll, The Great Unrecognized Member Of Lincoln's Cabinet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432557027)

My Dear Lady: The Story Of Anna Ella Carroll, The Great Unrecognized Member Of Lincoln's Cabinet is a biography written by Marjorie Barstow Greenbie. The book tells the story of Anna Ella Carroll, a woman who played a significant role in Abraham Lincoln's presidential administration but whose contributions have largely been overlooked by history. Anna Ella Carroll was born in 1815 in Maryland and grew up in a politically active family. She became involved in politics herself and was an advocate for the Union cause during the Civil War. She was known for her expertise in military strategy and was consulted by Lincoln and other members of his cabinet on matters related to the war effort. Despite her important contributions, Anna Ella Carroll was never officially recognized as a member of Lincoln's cabinet. This was due in part to her gender, as women were not typically allowed to hold political positions at the time. My Dear Lady explores Anna Ella Carroll's life and career in detail, drawing on historical documents and personal accounts. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the politics and social norms of the time, as well as the challenges faced by women who sought to make their mark in a male-dominated world. Overall, My Dear Lady is a compelling and illuminating biography that sheds light on an overlooked figure in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Civil War era or the role of women in politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
