Acclaimed for her roles in politics and diplomacy, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt was also a prolific author, broadcaster, educator, and public personality. Using excerpts from her writings, this anthology tracks her contributions from the 1920s stint as a journalist through the postwar era, when she shaped the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Accompanied by rare photos, the selections include Roosevelt's early entries in women's magazines ("Ten Rules for Success in Marriage"), her work for civil rights ("The Four Equalities"), her clash with Soviet delegates at the UN ("These Same Old Stale Charges"), and her advice literature ("If You Ask Me").
