Description

Eleanor Roosevelt's remarkable life is presented in this single-volume biography, offering a fresh perspective on her transformation from an orphaned niece to a diplomat, activist, and humanitarian. Born into a Gilded Age family of denial and secrecy, Eleanor converted her difficult childhood into a path of self-discovery and growth. Her marriage to Franklin Roosevelt transformed her life, but also led to personal struggles and challenges. As she navigated the complexities of her relationship with her husband and others, Eleanor developed a strong sense of self-awareness and emotional connection. This biography provides an intimate look at Eleanor's life, revealing a woman who was both vulnerable and aggressive, psychologically aware and sexually adaptable. Through her experiences, Eleanor sought deeper relationships and pursued healing through travel and personal connections.
