All About Ann: Governor Richards of the Lone Star State

All About Ann honors the larger-than-life Ann Richards, who became the first woman elected governor of Texas. Her poised coolness, biting wit, and dedication to social inclusivity positioned her among the most powerful and progressive governors in U.S. history, a liberal Democrat determined to forge "the new Texas." Yet as the 1994 campaign unfolds, Richards confronts her sternest challenge yet, as a growing conservative majority coalesces behind a new, pro-business candidate: George W. Bush.
