Publisher's Summary

Eleanor Roosevelt was born into the privileges and prejudices of American aristocracy and into a family ravaged by alcoholism. She overcame debilitating roots: in her public life, fighting against racism and injustice and advancing the rights of women; and in her private life, forming lasting intimate friendships with some of the great men and women of her time.

This landmark biography provides a compelling new evaluation of one of the most inspiring women in American political history. Celebrated by feminists, historians, politicians, and reviewers everywhere, it presents an unprecedented portrait of a brave, fierce, passionate political leader of our century.

What an amazing woman Eleanor Roosevelt was

There was so much detail that I actually think I met Eleanor. I will be purchasing Volume 2 that continues after 1933

What an extraordinary person

The life and character of Eleanor Roosevelt is even more fascinating than I could ever have imagined. I have always been impressed and interested in her, but after reading the first volume of this biography, I cannot wait to read the next volume. America owes a great debt to her.
