Eleanor Roosevelt: First Lady of American Liberalism

Few women in American life have exercised the power and influence of Eleanor Roosevelt without ever running for elective office; and few persons continue to hold as strong a place in the emotions of Americans years after their death as Eleanor Roosevelt. This new biography explains Roosevelt's hold upon the consciousness of Americans. It is refreshing to read of the accomplishments of her life without dwelling upon her much publicized tragedies. Young adult readers deserve to have available this well-researched, beautifully written, and moving tribute to a truly great American and “First Lady of the World.”
