Description: Although Eleanor Roosevelt's life and work have inspired dozens of books, her own prolific writings are largely confined to the Roosevelt archives in Hyde Park. Courage in a Dangerous World allows her voice again to be heard. Noted Eleanor Roosevelt scholar Allida Black has gathered more than two hundred columns, articles, essays, speeches, and letters, tracing her development from timorous columnist to one of liberalism's most eloquent and outspoken leaders. From "My Day" columns on Marian Anderson, excerpts from Moral Basis of Democracy and This Troubled World, to speeches and articles on the Holocaust and McCarrhyism, this anthology provides readers with the tools to reconstruct the politics of a woman who redefined American liberalism and democratic reform.
