Synopsis
'This vital study reconstructs Eleanor Roosevelt's role as a major power broker from 1945 until her death in 1962....[ Roosevelt's ] principled stand for low-cost and public housing, affirmative action, regulation of corporations, U.S. support for the United Nations--key planks in the liberal agenda under siege today--makes this a timely reassessment.'--Publishers Weekly
