Eleanor Roosevelt: A Personal and Public Life
- In this edition, Youngs adds a new section of study and discussion questions which provoke students to think about Eleanor Roosevelt's life in new and different ways through conversation and discussion.
- Scholarship lends even more depth to this biography, offering more coverage of Eleanor's relationship with Lorna Hickok, her stance on Equal Rights, her wartime activities, and her postwar liberalism.
- A new Preface highlights the reasons why Youngs chose to focus extensively on Eleanor Roosevelt’s childhood and upbringing, instead of the more standard attention on her as a first lady and a widow.
This biography offers a clear, concise and moving portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt. Her wisdom, kindness, trials and tribulations serve as wonderful examples of the power of human dignity, and of the ability of extraordinary people to captivate America .
