Eleanor Roosevelt: Fighter for Justice

This biography traces Eleanor Roosevelt’s development from a wealthy but insecure girl into a public advocate. When she became First Lady, she became especially aware of racial injustice and supported civil rights, at times despite personal risk. The book presents Roosevelt as someone who used her position to speak for people whose concerns were not being heard. Photographs accompany the account of her changing sense of purpose, her role in the White House, and her work connected with civil rights and justice.
