Albion does excellent work weeding out all the apocryphal quotes so often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt  giving us only the real thing.Christy Regenhardt  associate editor of The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers  Volume 2  Eleanor Roosevelt remains a compelling and interesting person  and these quotes give her greater voice.Kenneth Bindas  author of Remembering the Great Depression in the Rural South  Born in the late 1800s to one of the wealthiest families in New York City  Eleanor Roosevelt seemed destined for a traditional womans role within a sedate Victorian life. Instead  she married her fifth cousin and was flung into the highest levels of American politics  culminating in Franklins unprecedented four-term presidency.  While previous first ladies refrained from public discussion of their personal views  Eleanors bold opinions on political  social  and racial issues took many by surprise. She held press conferences and wrote a syndicated column. She spoke at national conventions  granted interviews  and often made appearances on her husbands behalf. Her own influence lasted years beyond his death. She advocated for human rights  worked with the United Nations  and supported what later became the civil rights movement.  The fascinating quotes in this collection are the words of an articulate  honest  and thoughtful woman. Of war  she said  I hope the day will come when all that inventing and mechanical genius will be used for other purposes. At a time when racism prevailed  Eleanor said  We must be proud of every one of our citizens  for regardless of nationality  or race  every one contributes to the welfare and culture of the nation.  Organized by topicgovernment  money  art  education  class  relationships  emotionsthese quotations reveal the personal thoughts Roosevelt shared in letters and conversations alongside the strong opinions she expressed in speeches and interviews  giving evidence to her character and her beliefs. Her words continue to resonate today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966789709877,"sku":"ByrdShop_0813044944","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780813044941.jpg?v=1770580472","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-quotable-eleanor-roosevelt","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
