Kimberly Heckler is a native Washingtonian whose passion for reading and writing has taken her on a journey of discovery. Her debut book, A Woman of Firsts: Margaret Heckler, Political Trailblazer, was published by Lyons Press on February 18, 2025. A Woman of Firsts is more than a biography of Margaret Heckler, it is a rare view into the behind the scenes world of American politics where Heckler rubbed shoulders with leaders from L.B.J. to Ronald Reagan. The book also details the 1960s-1980s experiences of a woman who successfully broke the glass ceiling in the sphere of politics that had always been dominated by men.
