What I Hope to Leave Behind: The Essential Essays of Eleanor Roosevelt
In this amazing volume of her work, Eleanor Roosevelt discusses the most urgent issues of our time from her own political philosophy of personal responsibility and activism.
She writes about the role of government in times of crises and human need; the perils and future of democracy; the complexities and contradictions of America's quest for civil liberties and civil rights; the role of women in public and private life; the role of education, libraries, culture, in society; issues of war, peace, and politics; the race between bigotry and human rights worldwide.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
Humanitarian
Although a shy child, Eleanor Roosevelt became one of the greatest humanitarians of the 20th century. During the Roosevelt Administration, she used her position to promote reforms to help women, minorities, and poor people. As the "eyes and ears" for her husband, she provided essential information about Americans' concerns. In 1948, as a delegate to the United Nations, she worked brilliantly to win passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Edited with an introduction by Allida M. Black, Director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers.
682 p., hardcover. Adult.
