{"product_id":"one-ann-only","title":"One Ann Only","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most unforgettable politicians in American history, Dorothy Ann Willis Richards (1933–2006) was the first woman to be elected, in her own right, governor of Texas; she served from 1991 to 1995. Richards transformed the state government to resemble the diverse population of Texas, appointing a record number of women, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ community members to Texas boards and state agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGovernor Richards was known as much for her humor as for her politics. Her witty one-liners, shrewdly delivered with a thick Waco accent, could bring down the house. Add in her striking appearance-big white hair and turquoise eyes-and her presence left an indelible impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a thoughtful foreword by award-winning novelist Sarah Bird, \u003ci\u003eThe One Ann Only\u003c\/i\u003e presents Ann’s famous witticisms alongside striking images throughout her life and political career by Texas photographers. This little book can serve as a Texas-sized inspiration to everyone, especially current and future public servants, teachers, parents, and people in recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":56747518165336,"sku":"9781477325926","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781477325926.jpg?v=1771449338","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/one-ann-only","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
