As a role model for girls & an inspiration to both genders, Eleanor Roosevelt remains unsurpassed. Wonderful book tells how she transcended her quiet, shy nature & unhappy childhood - (her parents separated; then her mother & brother died when she was 8 - and her father died 2 years later). She matured with confidence & dedication that propelled her to achievements beyond what was possible for a woman of her time. The vast range of her interests & activities is remarkable -- journalism, politics, civil rights, & social activism. She overcame difficult obstacles - including her husband's polio (Prez. FDR) - traveled to dangerous places for World War II - to become the 1st First Lady with a stellar public life.
