Summary

Eleanor Roosevelt was born into a world of privilege, where women were expected to be beautiful and charming-but not outspoken. This shy girl, however, would grow up to be heard by millions. As first lady, she fought tirelessly for the rights of women and minorities, and proved that dedication and enthusiasm can change the way the world is run. Book jacket.
