The Candid Idylls of a State Representative - Paperback

A woman of grace and grit, Elizabeth "Bibs" Metayer was a distinguished and prominent American whose zest for life is listed in Who' Who of Women represented the soul of a Nation. Her intensity held her readers spellbound as the 3rd oldest member of the House. She is often referred to as the Dean of Women Legislators. No doubt each and every person in the State House, Legislators, and staff person alike respects and admires her. She saw the Commonwealth as chain of homes and families where a woman who has budgeted the family income, been mindful of raising tax rates, and cared for and educated a family can legislate effectively particularly in the areas of health, education, and welfare-the natural concerns of a woman.
Elizabeth N. Metayer was the first female State Representative to serve in the historic town of Braintree, MA and as a columnist for 21 years wrote Lady of the House & Cabbages & Kings.
