The first volume in the life of America’s greatest First Lady, “a woman who changed the lives of millions” (Washington Post).
Eleanor Roosevelt, Vol. Three: 1938-1962, will be published in November 2016.
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 times. This volume covers ER’s family and birth, her childhood, education, and marriage, and ends with FDR’s election to the Presidency–the years of ER’s youth and coming of age.
Celebrated byfeminists, historians, politicians, and reviewerseverywhere, Cook’s trilogy is an unprecedented portrait of a brave,fierce, passionatepolitical leader of our century.
