Synopsis:
Celebrated by feminists, historians, politicians, and reviewers everywhere, Blanche Wiesen Cooks Eleanor Roosevelt presents an unprecedented portrait of the towering female figure of the twentieth century. The second volume plunges into the White House years and the Great Depression, the time when Eleanor exerted enormous influence over the course of the country. In the thirties, Eleanor becomes even more surprising and multifaceted. A loyal wife, a devoted mother, a woman who courted romance and adventure, Eleanor Roosevelt was Americas most compelling, charismatic, and visionary First Lady. She ran a virtual parallel administration that championed civil rights, affordable housing, and a New Deal for women. She took unpopular stands and often countered her husbands policies, particularly concerning racial justice, women's rights, the plight of refugees, and approaches to Fascism and the Spanish Civil War. The book closes in 1938, as Europe moves toward war. This is an unparalleled presentation of a woman whose life was filled with passionate commitment and who struggled for personal fulfillment. It is a book for all readers of American history and politics, and as the New Deal comes under assault today, a book for readers who care about a decent future for all people.
Review:
"Cook pulls no punches when it comes to examining her heroine's political or personal shortcomings, but she also delights in showing us the excellence of her character and the scope of her achievements. Her enthusiasm lights up the pages of this story."
Merle Rubin, Christian Science Monitor, 07/01/1999
Review:"Blanche Wiesen Cook continues her diligent pentimento, getting at the tender, sprightly creature behind the starchy, strident image, chronicling how the timid housewife and mother of five shed her chrysalis and turned into the New Deal's relentless 'Eleanor Everywhere.'''
Maureen Dowd, New York Times, 7/4/1999
