She was a poor girl  not able to go to college  not steeped in the niceties of the American tradition  but despite this  Sophie in a very real sense  lived up to our founding fathers standards. She might not have been the incarnation of the person they envisioned as a leader. After all  she was a woman  a Jew  not independently wealthy or with any pedigree or celebrated status  but by her values and by her deeds she would have ultimately won their respect. For Sophie was all about the people  all about using her office to help others  to respond to their needs  to make things better. Whatever governmental or non-governmental position she held  she was there to serve her constituents  never herself. It was said by those who knew her that Sophie had three great lovesher family  the Democratic Party and the city of Pittsburgh. Sophie was beloved in Pittsburgh because she represented everything that makes the city great. She was fun-loving and hard-working  tough as they come  and loyal to her neighbors in one of the darkest times for American cities. -Bill Clinton Guided by her unwavering commitment to public service  Mayor Masloff helped break down barriers and build a brighter future for the city of Pittsburgh. Her story speaks to the promise of our Nation  and her unique voice inspired and captured the hearts of those in her community. -Barack Obama\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923549487157,"sku":"ByrdShop_1633853039","price":249.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781633853034.jpg?v=1794107242","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sophie-the-incomparable-mayor-masloff-9781633853034","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
