Reviews

"""Gioia Diliberto's unconventional portrait of the Jazz Age shifts the spotlight away from flappers and femme fatales to the rebels and reformers who 'played politics like a man.' Firebrands shows how the Noble Experiment of Prohibition was driven by female ambition, sparking an era of women's political power that remains unmatched in American history."" --Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Madam: The Biography of Polly Adler, Icon of the Jazz Age"
