Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

This highly readable, well-researched work of feminist scholarship erases the image of the young Eleanor Roosevelt as a long-suffering, repressed wife and presents her as a strong, ever-evolving individual. Photos. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
