About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of Eleanor Roosevelt...
Eleanor Roosevelt was no ordinary First Lady. Her life reads like an epic novel: childhood tragedy, political intrigue, personal betrayal, and ultimate triumph. Born into New York's elite Roosevelt family, Eleanor lost both parents by age ten and was raised by a stern grandmother who criticized her appearance and demeanor. The shy, awkward girl nicknamed "Granny" seemed destined for a quiet life in the shadows.

But fate had other plans. Her marriage to distant cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt thrust her into the political spotlight, where she discovered talents she never knew she possessed. Rather than simply serving as White House hostess, she became a fearless activist who championed groundbreaking government policies and fought tirelessly for civil rights. Her bold approach would be emulated by those who followed her. In this book, we celebrate her remarkable life, as well as her enduring legacy.

Discover a plethora of topics such as

  • Early Life and Loss
  • Marrying Her Cousin
  • The Meddling Mother-In-Law
  • Politics Above Family
  • The Revolutionary First Lady
  • Late Life and Death
  • And much more!
