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.

Excerpt from From the Ranch to the White House: Life of Theodore Roosevelt, Author, Legislator, Field Sportsman, Soldier, Reformer and Executive When we meet a man of lofty moral and physical courage, whose conscience is his supreme master, who loves his fellow-men, is generous, charitable, and as quick to reward as to condemn, whose patriotism is a part of his religion, and who gives and demands a "square deal" every time, we are apt to think he only lacks wings to soar away as a full-fledged angel. Yet it would be fulsome and absurd to claim that Theodore Roosevelt is such a person. Being human, he has made errors, and will make more of them before he dies.

Josephine Roche (1886–1976) was a progressive activist, New Deal policymaker, and businesswoman. As a pro-labor and feminist member of Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, she shaped the founding legislation of the U.S. welfare state and generated the national conversation about health-care policy that Americans are still having today. In this gripping biography, Robyn Muncy offers Roche’s persistent progressivism as evidence for surprising continuities among the Progressive Era, the New Deal, and the Great Society. Muncy explains that Roche became the second-highest-ranking woman in the New Deal government after running a Colorado coal company in partnership with coal miners themselves. Once in office, Roche developed a national health plan that was stymied by World War II but enacted piecemeal during the postwar period, culminating in Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960s. By then, Roche directed the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund, an initiative aimed at bolstering the labor movement, advancing managed health care, and reorganizing medicine to facilitate national health insurance, one of Roche’s unrealized dreams. In Relentless Reformer, Muncy uses Roche’s dramatic life story—from her stint as Denver’s first policewoman in 1912 to her fight against a murderous labor union official in 1972—as a unique vantage point from which to examine the challenges that women have faced in public life and to reassess the meaning and trajectory of progressive reform.

The autobiography of theodore roosevelt is a great book written by Theodore Roosevelt himself. -Theodore Roosevelt autobiography: Reformer, rancher, conservationist, hunter, historian, police commissioner, soldier, the youngest man ever to serve as president of the United States--no other American public figure has led as vigorous and varied a life as Theodore Roosevelt. This volume brings together two fascinating autobiographical works. The Rough Riders (1899) is the story of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, the regiment Roosevelt led to enduring fame during the Spanish-American War. With his characteristic elan Roosevelt recounts how "these grim hunters of the mountains, these wild rough riders of the plains," endured the heat, hunger, rain, mud, and malaria of the Cuban campaign to charge triumphantly up the San Juan Heights during the Battle of Santiago. In An Autobiography (1913), Roosevelt describes his life in politics and the emergence of his progressive ideas. Teddy Roosevelt Autobiography: Surveying his career as a state legislator, civil service reformer, New York City police commissioner, assistant secretary of the navy, governor, and president, Roosevelt writes of his battles against corruption, his role in establishing America as a world power, his passionate commitment to conservation, and his growing conviction that only a strong national government and an energetic presidency could protect the public against the rapacious greed of modern corporations. Autobiography Theodore Roosevelt is agreate book highly recommended to read.
