Table of ContentsReviewsMary Lasker's indomitable personality leaps off the pages of this book. The story of this resilient 'citizen lobbyist' captures her altruism, dedication and persistence, as it chronicles her life-long campaign to relieve suffering and cure disease. Empathetic to the pain endured by others and steadfast in overcoming obstacles in her own life, Mary used myriad tools - from high-society dinner parties that mingled politicians and scientists to powerhouse meetings with White House and Congressional leaders that combined well-documented evidence with charming engagement-to bolster medical research funding and create a scientific powerhouse at the NIH that continues to lead the world in identifying breakthrough medical therapies. Her call to action, 'If you think research is expensive....try disease' is as true today as ever and should rally us all to take up her crusade to increase funding for medical research and thus move us closer to her goal to 'heal America'. --Claire Pomeroy, President, Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation Author InformationJudith Pearsonis the award-winning author of three previous books: The Wolves at the Door, Belly of the Beast, and From Shadows to Life, which won the 2022 Nautilus Gold Award.
