When Josephine Roche challenged Big Ed Johnson for the Colorado governorship in 1934, an editorialist wrote: "Miss Roche has proved beyond a doubt that a wideawake woman is more valuable than a drowsy man." She lost the election, but the sentiment remained true. As a mining executive, Roche helped end decades of labor strife. As a New Deal policy maker, she helped frame the Social Security Act, and as director of the United Mine Workers Welfare and Retirement Fund, she helped create and administer a boldly ambitious employee benefits program. "My hobby is humanity." Roche once declared, but that understated the case. Helping humanity was her crusade and her passionas this firstever Roche biography illustrates.
