Kristine Brancolini’s Reviews > The First Ladies > Status Update

I’m reading this book for my book club. We also read “The Personal Librarian” by the same authors. Benedict and Murray make a strong pair of writers to tackle a story about race, gender tokes and equality, and personal loss. Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary McLeod Bethune met and formed a powerful friendship in the 1930’s, a time when black and white people rarely did. Theirs is a fascinating story.
