An energetic entrepreneur as well as a politician who was a key player during the New Deal, Isabella Greenway blazed a trail for the remarkable women in Arizona politics today. Kristie Miller's meticulous biography captures a life of adventure and romance, from Edith Wharton's New York and a life-long friendship with Eleanor Roosevelt to ventures into ranching, the airline industry, furniture manufacturing, and hotel management. The book also reveals Greenway's considerable influence on the development of Arizona in the early decades of statehood.
