Scott Kaufman, historian and co-author of *The Presidency of Jimmy Carter*, gives us a new, comprehensive biography of Mr. Carter's wife in his new book, *Rosalynn Carter: Equal Partner in the White House*. He depicts a hard-working, energetic, ambitious First Lady who remains one of the most admired women in the world. He also examines how she became a lightning rod for controversy by taking on roles that many people considered inappropriate.
