A national bestseller, her authoritative biography has been celebrated by feminists, historians, politicians, potential first ladies, and by reviewers everywhere.

This is an excellent biography of Eleanor Roosevelt. It provides an in-depth perspective of ER, from her parents and childhood to just before her years in the White House. Well written-- it reads more like a novel than a biography. A very enjoyable book and I'm looking forward to reading volume 2.
