We Can Do Together: Impressions of a Recovering Feminist First LadyChronicling the emergence of both her personal and political points of view, "We Can Do Together" Impressions of a Recovering Feminist First Lady is a fascinating and moving account of the life of Dagmar Braun Celeste, one of Ohio's most vocal and effective First Ladies. "We Can Do Together" is a deeply personal account of a woman who wrote through grief and bitterness to find peace and a renewed appreciation for life and its beauty. "There are many sides to every story," as writer and friend Alicia Miller says. "This is Dagmar's, and it is told with a fierce intensity and unwavering candor that is moving and inspiring." |
