The past couple weeks I've been reading the book Eleanor Roosevelt Vol. I, first printed in 1992.She was an amazing woman who fought against racism, and injustice and was hugely instrumental in gaining rights for women - including the right to vote and hold public office.
All of this while overcoming personal traumas and struggles. I can only imagine the inspiration she was to millions of women (and men) during her lifetime. I highly recommend it - not just for her story, but the history of our country during the first half of the 1900's. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Vol II!
