Eleanor Roosevelt, Fighter for Justice shows young readers how the former First Lady evolved from a poor little rich girl to a protector and advocate for those without a voice. Though now seen as a cultural icon, she was a woman deeply insecure about her looks and her role in the world. But by recognizing her fears and constantly striving to overcome her prejudices, she used her proximity to presidents and her own power to aid in the fight for Civil Rights and other important causes. This biography gives readers a fresh perspective on her extraordinary life. It includes a timeline, biography, index, and many historic photographs.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NOMINEE • The riveting history of how Pauli Murray—a brilliant writer-turned-activist—and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt forged an enduring friendship that helped to alter the course of race and racism in America. “A definitive biography of Murray, a trailblazing legal scholar and a tremendous influence on Mrs. Roosevelt.” —Essence In 1938, the twenty-eight-year-old Pauli Murray wrote a letter to the President and First Lady, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, protesting racial segregation in the South. Eleanor wrote back. So began a friendship that would last for a quarter of a century, as Pauli became a lawyer, principal strategist in the fight to protect Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and a co-founder of the National Organization of Women, and Eleanor became a diplomat and first chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

This book is about Eleanor´s humanitarianism and her fight for social justice. She started out early in life as an orphan by the age of eleven. Sent to her grandmother´s home, she then was sent to England to a finishing school for girls. Here she met an extraordinary teacher, Mlle. Souvestre, who opened the world for her to see and experience. Her teacher promoted self awareness and ´think for yourself´ attitude to help women become more sustained in their own lives. Once she finished school after three years, Eleanor came back to New York to have her coming out party for high society. Here she met FDR once more since childhood. They started to get to know one another and soon found they were in love and dating. They married in March of 1903 even though FDR´s mother Sara did not approve. However, Eleanor did many things to help the many men, women, and children of Rivington Street in New York. She took FDR down there before they were married and this I believe helped to fuel the injustice in the world seen by Eleanor and FDR, allowing them to make the wrongs right as best as they could. This in turn follows segregation of all levels and including the military, helping the disabled, children of all ages, refugees including those running from Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, and many other reasons to state. The book highlights on some of her work that she did alone, with FDR and with some women friends whom she became very close with over the years. I hope that people would be intrigued enough to read about this extraordinary woman whose work and ideals are still sought after and followed to this day. Thank you. Crystal Roberts

The central volume in the definitive biography of America's most important First Lady. "Engrossing" (Boston Globe). The captivating second volume of this Eleanor Roosevelt biography covers tumultuous era of the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the gathering storms of World War II, the years of the Roosevelts' greatest challenges and finest achievements. In her remarkably engaging narrative, Cook gives us the complete Eleanor Roosevelt—an adventurous, romantic woman, a devoted wife and mother, and a visionary policymaker and social activist who often took unpopular stands, counter to her husband's policies, especially on issues such as racial justice and women's rights. A biography of scholarship and daring, it is a book for all readers of American history.

“We will have to want Peace, want it enough to pay for it, before it becomes and accepted rule.” With these words, Mrs. Roosevelt concludes her appeal for peace on earth, good will to men. During the past year, World Peace has seemed more difficult of achievement than ever before, despite the efforts of Leagues and Courts. This discouraging situation has inspired Mrs. Roosevelt, whose life is bound by special ties to the whole fabric of our country’s welfare, to express her own sincere beliefs on the subject. She has analysed many peace plans and, as a result of her studies, presents her own suggestions as to how permanent peace can be brought about. This is a thoughtful book, written by a woman who realises that it is easier to keep out of situations which lead to war than it is to bring about peace once war is going on. If we can dispassionately go over the difficulties which arise between conflicting interests within our own borders, we will be in a better position to understand and arbitrate the quarrels which lead to war among other nations.
