The complete texts and more than 100 accompanying photographs of Roosevelt's autobiographies, meticulously restored from the first editions

An unrivalled selection of her outspoken and perceptive writings on politics, democracy, citizenship, and patriotism: all essential reading for the current moment.

A tireless activist and gifted political advocate, Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most inspiring, influential, and controversial American public figures of the last century. The nation's longest serving First Lady, and the first to contribute regular columns to newspapers and magazines, she was a prolific and immensely popular writer, the author of two dozen works of autobiography and public advocacy. Her books, essays, and articles--on human rights, on the possibilities and responsibilities of democracy, on war and international cooperation, on labor and civil rights, feminism and women's roles, education, liberalism, and the role of government--shaped the course of the twentieth century and continue to resonate in the twenty-first. Now Library of America presents a two-volume edition of her writings both on her own remarkable life and from her work as a political and social activist.
