Casting Her Own Shadow
Book description
Black shows how Eleanor Roosevelt, after being freed from the constraints imposed by her role in the White House, eagerly expanded her career and unabashedly challenged both the Democratic party and American liberals to practice what they preach.
Why read it?
1 author picked Casting Her Own Shadow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
ER's many accomplishments perhaps overshadow the importance of her as a political force after the death of Franklin. I like this book because it spells out what an important role she played in the Truman administration, in particular, and during the Eisenhower years in keeping alive the beacon of liberalism in the Democratic Party.
From Maurine's list on Eleanor Roosevelt and her world.
