It did not focus on the sad times and Franklin's affairs as much as other books and video. It allowed for a more in depth story of her life. I had the honor to meet Mrs. Roosevelt in 1962 and was fortunate to spend a great deal of time with her on the occasion of a convocation honoring her as Wayne State University in Detroit.
Eleanor's growth and personality development comes through clearly as she reveals inner thoughts and motives throughout her life.
During World War II she traveled with her husband to meet leaders of many powerful nations; after his death in 1945 she worked as a UN delegate, chairman of the Commission on Human Rights, newspaper columnist, Democratic party activist, world-traveler, and diplomat.

The niece of Theodore Roosevelt, she married a distant relative and Columbia University law student named Franklin Delano Roosevelt; he gradually ascended throughout the world of New York politics to reach the U.S. presidency in 1932. From memories to resolve: Eleanor Roosevelt speaking out on a difficult century I wanted to read this book to gain a better understanding of U.S. history in the 40s, but Eleanor mentioned so many things w/o explaining. Nachdem sie ihre Eltern früh verloren hatte, war sie im Haus ihrer Großmutter mütterlicherseits aufgewachsen und heiratete in jungen Jahren einen entfernten Verwandten, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, damals Jurastudent, später Gouverneur des Staates New York und seit 1932 Präsident der USA, ein Amt, das er bis zu seinem Tod 1945 innehatte. As I read it, I felt like I was listening to an old friend.
It did not focus on the sad times and Franklin's affairs as much as other books and video. The detail was excruciating at times, especially when it seemed that she was doing nothing but traveling from house to house, having teas and holding or attending events. An amazing journey and life story that brings the facts and historical events to life. A must read for anyone interested in the Roosevelt era beginning with Teddy. A wise leader, she knew the power of words, and throughout her work as First Lady, a UN representative, and advocate for human rights, women, youth, minorities, and workers, she was a prolific writer and speaker. Eleanor's growth and personality development comes through clearly as she reveals inner thoughts and motives throughout her life. I recommend this for any reader over the age of 12.

Gave a good insight into the Roosevelt family and how their ideals shaped her into the woman she became.

Roosevelt. About a third of the way through, I had the thought that she must have kept a diary of absolutely everything she ever did. It is most certainly not a waste of time to read. By the end of her life, Eleanor Roosevelt was recognized throughout the world for her fortitude and commitment to the ideals of liberty and human rights. Aus der Ehe gingen fünf Kinder hervor und neben ihren Aufgaben als Ehefrau und Mutter sowie den anfallenden Repräsentationspflichten musste Eleanor Roosevelt auch den Schicksalsschlag bewältigen, der die Familie traf, als ihr Mann im Alter von 39 Jahren an Kinderlähmung erkrankte und zeitlebens eine massive Gehbehinderung davon zurückbehielt.

She was an orphan whose family tried to suffocate her spirit of initiative in order to make her a proper lady for the 19th Century, and as a young mother could never please her dominating mother-in-law.
