"A Bathroom of Her Own" is ashort story byRobert A. Heinlein about apolitical campaign in the U.S. after World War II. Written in 1946, it was unpublished until printed in Heinlein'sExpanded Universe (1980).[1] The story has no science fiction or fantasy elements.
Heinlein wrote in a foreword: "Any old pol will recognize the politics in this story as the Real McCoy. Should be. Autobiographical in many details. Which details? Show me a warrant and I'lltake the Fifth". Another political story of Heinlein's is "Our Fair City" (1949). Heinlein had a cynical view of politics from his experiences on theUpton Sinclair 1934 campaign forGovernor of California and his own at the receiving end of supposed dirty tricks during Heinlein's failed 1938 election campaign for theCalifornia State Assembly.
