Edición de la obra Belle Moskowitz

As the closest advisor to Alfred E. Smith, four-term Democratic governnor of New York and presidential candidate, Belle Moskowitz (1877-1933) was the most powerful woman in Democratic party politics during the 1920s. She served as Smith's strategist, public relations director, and campaign manager, and was a major force in shaping the social welfare programs fro which his administration is best know today. -- Michael Kazin, Washington Post.
