This book has been so eye-opening on many levels. It makes me sad to think that many of the ideas that Eleanor and Mary had together have only just come to fruition during my lifetime. We still have so far to go.

I'm learning things about American history again! (Books are such great teachers.). This time I learned that in the 1930s, the Democratic party was full of conservative southerners and members of the KKK, while most African Americans were Republicans (because of Abe Lincoln).
