In Her Own Words
Eleanor Roosevelt
A woman ahead of - and of - her time, Eleanor Roosevelt dared to put equality at the center of her activism. Despite the obstacles she faced and the setbacks she encountered, she never gave up on her belief that human beings could change the world. Her observations on freedom, race and ethnicity, women and gender, faith, children, war, peace, and everyday living provide a pithy, practical guide for navigating the complex issues of our modern world. A timeless showcase of Eleanor Roosevelt's wisdom, optimism, and common sense, What are we for? is a celebration of a cultural icon, and a timely reminder that the way forward lies in our ability to meet challenges with courage, imagination, and the faith that justice and peace are not only possible but achievable.
