Description
Eleanor Roosevelt was raised in a privileged but stern Victorian household. She found solace in books and her lively independent mind during a lonely childhood. Despite being alone for much of her youth, Eleanor's intellectual gifts and compassionate heart won her many friends. As she grew older, Eleanor devoted her time to teaching children in New York City's poorest neighborhoods. This early work laid the foundation for her later life as a socially and politically active First Lady, Ambassador, activist, and champion of civil rights. Her legacy continues to be felt today, thanks to Doreen Rappaport's eloquent prose. Beautiful paintings by Gary Kelley accompany selections from Eleanor's own writings in this extraordinary tribute to an American icon.
