Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. First printing of this scarce book, written by the first woman to serve as Assistant U.S. Attorney General. Very good with abrasion to spine (obscuring "Inside of" in title), otherwise bright and clean inside and out with touch of foxing to top page edges. In a very good dust jacket--$2.00 price intact--with corresponding loss to area near top of spine, some light edgewear, and a couple of repaired closed tears. A nice copy. Willebrandt aggressively upheld the Volstead Act but later--in this book--criticized the federal government's efforts to enforce the law, describing political interference, incompetent public officials and public indifference.

Mabel Willebrandt (1889-1963) was the Assistant Attorney General from 1921 to 1929, the highest-ranking woman in the federal government during that time. Known as "the Prohibition Portia," she was responsible for enforcing the Volstead Act during the Prohibition era. During the 1928 presidential election, Willebrandt organized several high-profile raids of speakeasies, all to benefit the election prospects of Hoover. The press noted that "no other woman has ever had so much influence on a presidential campaign." Willebrandt expected to be named Attorney General for her loyalty to President Hoover, but she was passed over and soon resigned.

Lengthy volume by the former assistant attorney general for the Justice Department, responsible for enforcing the Volstead Act from 1921-1929. "She worked closely with both the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League to build public support for the federal efforts. She also used liquor prosecutions to generate headlines. A number of times, Willebrandt sat in the courtroom while one of her assistants pressed a case. Since women government lawyers were quite a novelty in the 1920s, her actions generated press coverage. Similarly, she focused much of her action on corruption cases that grew out of the violation of prohibition, again headline grabbers. She did not seek press notice gratuitously, but as a part of a Justice Department campaign to showcase prohibition enforcement activity and to make a case to the public for cleaner government. Willebrandt published, first in syndicated newspaper column form and then as a book (The Inside of Prohibition), her vision for effective prohibition law enforcement. She called for clean government, greater coordination between national and local officials, and especially for common people to take responsibility for seeing the laws enforced" (Badr, Jehad and Mark Weir. "Prohibition's Portia: Mabel Walker Willebrandt." online resource). An attractive copy, uncommon in commerce.
