Description: One of the most admired women of this century, Eleanor Roosevelt will always be remembered for her remarkable achievements as First Lady, United Nations official, and passionate advocate for the causes she held close to her heart. Now, William Turner Levy, a close friend, gives us a joyful, intimate perspective on the private life of Mrs. R. Through charming anecdotes, many of them totally fresh, Levy gives us an intimate look at Eleanor Roosevelt, and, with the help of historian Cynthia Eagle Russett, we see how she helped to shape American and international politics. But most rewarding are the many recollections that are full of flashes of her personality and the delicious domestic touches that bring Mrs. R fully alive -- as if she were our friend, too.
