An outstanding book for an outstanding lady.

A great example of high-quality writing and story telling. Unlike other biographies of famous women connected to famous men, this book actually told the story of the life and many accomplishment of Eleanor Roosevelt without undo focus on her famous husband. I really enjoyed hearing the famous lady's quoted words. Highly recommend!

Excellant

An amazing person who makes you want to become a better person youself. Very well written and a quick listen
