Beginning with the familiar story of a lonely childhood, James Kearney traces the gradual development of a shy, self-effacing girl into a national figure. The book's chief emphasis is on the crucial years that begin with the inauguration of 1933, when Eleanor Roosevelt emerged from the shadow of a family life dominated by her strong-willed mother-in-law to assume an active role in American public life. She was, in many ways, singularly ill-equipped for such a role. Self-critical, impulsive, and trustful to the point of gullibility, she was bound to make mistakes, and whatever mistakes she made were certain to be publicized mercilessly. Her touching belief in the idealism of youth involved her with the American Youth Congress. Her experience with the small furniture factory she had started at Hyde Park predisposed her to expect miracles from the Subsistence Homestead Division's plan to encourage handicraft production in rural areas. When the Communist domination of the AYC became obvious, she was pilloried as a fellow traveler or worse. The dismal failure of the model homesteads at Arthurdale, West Virginia, focused public attention on her innocent disregard of economic facts. And as a staunch champion of equal rights for the Negro, she was a target for abuse from racists of all kinds. Curiously enough, the torrent of vilification and ridicule had little effect. Mrs. Roosevelt continued to champion the underdog, to busy herself in diverse good causes, to enlist her husband's support of them and to chronicle all in her column "My Day." Her fan mail was enormous and, though some of the letters were uncomplimentary, most of them were not. Neither abuse nor moderate and objective criticism tarnished her public image. While statesmen spoke in impersonal phrases, she spoke directly to the people, communicating her concern as one human being to another. This was her gift to the people of America nad it was for this that they loved her.

In her own lifetime, Eleanor Roosevelt became an American heroine. She overcame a shy and timid girlhood, a domineering mother and mother-in-law, and the enmity of her critics to become a symbol and an institution. She was coaxer and companion to a great President. She revolutionized the role of the First Lady and thereby elevated the American woman to a new level of public consciousness. Eleanor Roosevelt lived many lives in one lifetime. In whatever area she was active, her touch was unique. She could have chosen to be only a teacher, or a wife, or a First Lady, or a writer, or a public speaker, or a social reformer, or her country's representative at the United Nations. Instead, she functioned effectively in all these roles because of a deep commitment to democracy and social justice, and a special style. Because of this style, and her position, Mrs. Roosevelt constantly suffered criticism from those she annoyed. Her image was intricate and contradictory -- a politician or a politician's wife; a saint or a busybody; the embodiment of American ideals or a radical threat to the American way of life. But even those who hated her were impressed by her personal warmth which carried so effectively to the people she moved among. In this book, Tamara Hareven tells Mrs. Roosevelt's story in fascinating detail, with particular attention to her impact upon American society. Miss Hareven goes behind the scenes to analyze Mrs. Roosevelt's influcence on government, the real meaning of her public ideas, and her personal loneliness. This is an engaging portrait of a great woman, driven by a perpetual sense of duty, who conquered herself that she might help others to conquer.
