Description
In 1952, LIFE magazine described Anna Marie Rosenberg as “the most important woman in the American government, and perhaps the most important official female in the world.” Four decades earlier, Anna had immigrated to America as a Hungarian Jew. THE CONFIDANTE tells the story of how Anna became a close WWII advisor of President Roosevelt – his “Mrs. Fix-It” on the home front and his special envoy to wartime Europe. Astonishingly, her story from high school WWI activist to Assistant Secretary of Defense remained largely forgotten, until now.
