Status Updates From Eleanor Roosevelt, Vol 1 18...

It’s interesting to see how much marriage isolated ER. If it weren’t for the fact that ER was wealthy and her husband was in politics (and let’s be real, didn’t really notice her), I don’t know if she would have been able to find that social circle and start to become unisolated. Makes me want to re-read the well of loneliness because I think it was written about this period.

Very glad I’ve read 2 books on Teddy and watched a bunch of Ken Burn’s The Roosevelts because I think it would be a little hard to keep up with all the people at the beginning. Finally actually getting to Eleanor, mostly been back story and focus on Elliott up to this point (which I don’t mind)!
