Abstract

That Woman

The article discusses the book Appointment on the Hill, by Dorothy Detzer. Dorothy Detzer has been a lobbyist since 1925. Her activities as executive secretary of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom have taken her to many strange places, strangest of all, perhaps, the stuffy environments of the U.S. State Department. The author recommends this book especially to one who has struggled through the dull memoirs of intellectual Cordell Hull. Detzer's patience, and integrity, and her intimate knowledge of the political scene illuminate the pages of Appointment on the Hill, no wonder the lobbyists for special privilege get panicky when they see that woman talking to a bemused Congressman or a soon-to-be embarrassed Under Secretary.
