The Remarkable Eleanor Roosevelt


Born into a privileged and prejudiced family, that was ravaged by alcoholism, Eleanor Roosevelt overcame all obstacles to become an extraordinary leader and feminist. The biography of the shy, plain girl who married her handsome cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is a multi-level story. After bearing six children and enduring a domineering mother-in-law, Eleanor's dreams were shattered by her husband's marital betrayal. She was thrust into the unwanted position of First Lady but would find her personal fulfillment in the work she undertook. She would become the conscience of the president, and a beloved, charismatic world leader with an out-standing record in civil rights, poverty, housing, employment and equality issues. She is also remembered for overseeing the worst food in White House history! The life story of this amazing lady provides us with an inspirational study of independence and brilliant accomplishments. See why she earned the title "First Lady of the World."
