Why read it?
1 author picked The First Ladies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I can’t think of many American women more compelling than Mary Bethune McLeod and Eleanor Roosevelt. Seeing them as allies in this book, fighting against historical injustice, really made me love them both.
I delighted in getting inside the head of Eleanor, a woman who started out so meek only to become an international powerhouse who helped shape the world order in the aftermath of WWII.
I am also floored by Mary’s resilience and dedication to the cause of other women and Black Americans.
From Stephanie's list on historical fiction women who changed the world.
