Discover the remarkable life of Eleanor Roosevelt...
Free BONUS Inside!

Eleanor Roosevelt was no ordinary First Lady. Her life reads like an epic childhood tragedy, political intrigue, personal betrayal, and ultimate triumph. Born into New York's elite Roosevelt family, Eleanor lost both parents by age ten and was raised by a stern grandmother who criticized her appearance and demeanor. The shy, awkward girl nicknamed "Granny" seemed destined for a quiet life in the shadows.

But fate had other plans. Her marriage to distant cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt thrust her into the political spotlight, where she discovered talents she never knew she possessed. Rather than simply serving as White House hostess, she became a fearless activist who championed groundbreaking government policies and fought tirelessly for civil rights. Her bold approach would be emulated by those who followed her. In this book, we celebrate her remarkable life, as well as her enduring legacy.

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

I knew very little about Eleanor except for her action the Feminist movement and the Nineteenth Amendment. But as first-ladies go she really set the mold for Lady Bird and Hilary. Lady Bird backed and pushed Linden on civil rights and Hillary worked on policy when Clinton was governor of Arkansas and stood by his infidelities.

Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most admired and influential First Ladies. She is often quoted and I love the powerful massages.

I enjoyed the book because it covered the achievements during her time as First Lady and after. It also gives us a glimpse of her life growing up. I knew little about her younger years other than she was the niece of President Theodore Roosevelt. There were also anecdotes about her life with her husband and her transformation.
