The first woman editor of The New York Times editorial page and best-selling author, Gail Collins, reveals in her explosive new book how Texas has become the bellwether of a far-reaching national movement that continues to have profound social and economic consequences for the nation.

Collins declares, “like it or not, as Texas goes, so goes the nation.”
