VERY INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE This personal and delightful account of ...By BooVERY INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLEThis personal and delightful account of the life of Eleanor Roosevelt after the death of her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was most readable and endearing as well as informative. Especially interesting were the comprehensive information regarding her extensive travels to many parts of the world.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One StarBy Barbara C.Did not enjoy this book at all. Big disappointment.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Amazing WomanBy Dr. Wilson TriviñoEleanor Roosevelt was really ahead of her time. I recently read the current "it" business book Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg which is also a book about women's empowerment in the work place. Eleanor did not let the times mores hold her back, she simply did it.This book, On My Own starts off sharing her years after the death of her beloved Franklin (FDR) dies. She has to take charge of her household, handle the expenses, make a living, and plan what she will do for the rest of her life. She finds a voice as a writer and reporter and in the book shares her interviews with some of the more interesting characters of her day, from Kruschev, Tito, and also her tedious work with the United Nations.In her travels she speaks of what she sees and describes in great detail China, the far east, Russia and all the exotic places that she pass through.Even with her expanded roles, she still kept a foot in the political world and shares her thoughts of Adlai Stevenson, the Kennedy brothers, Nixon and other public official of the day. She believed that public officials needed to take a stand and owed that to the voters.This book is really a find capsule of life in the late 50s, her concerns of the changing political works with the influence of television, the new political class, the worries of the common person and how she pushed for universal human rights were some of her passions.She describes how the television media was creating a divide between the elected officials and the public.Eleanor had no airs about her and was really a curious person about the wonders of the world. A fascinating book about a dynamic woman who was way ahead of her time and helped set the course for the modern woman.Hard to imagine a time when a former first lady could simply roam free with no larger entourage or security and with relative ease return to private life.How I would have wished to have known her and now with this book I have a little better understanding. The Story Of Her Life After April, 1945, Her Family, Friends, Campaign Work, Service In Humanitarian And International Causes. Includes Photographs, Anecdotes, Personal Assessments, And Describes In Intimate Detail The Problems She Had To Solve After Her Husband's Death. About the AuthorEleanor Roosevelt was an American politician and humanitarian, and, as the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is recognized as the longest-serving first lady of the United States (1933-1945.) Born into the prominent Roosevelt family, Eleanor was raised in privilege by her grandmother following the death of her parents. Educated overseas, Roosevelt returned home to the United States and married her fifth cousin once removed, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1905. Influenced by her husband s success in politics, Roosevelt made regular public appearances and held her own press conferences while first lady.Following Franklin s death in 1945, Roosevelt remained active in politics, and became one of the first delegates to the United Nations, as well as participating in the UN Commission on Human Rights and in John F. Kennedy s Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. She also penned numerous memoirs and articles, including the autobiographies This Is My Story, This I Remember, and On My Own. Eleanor Roosevelt died in 1962 at the age of 78. Roosevelt, along with her husband Franklin Delano and uncle Theodore, is the subject of the 2014 Ken Burns documentary The Roosevelts: An Intimate History.

  • Chapter 8: Eleanor Roosevelt’S Covert Expansion of Autofabrication – a Double Deal
    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/36996 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Polak, Sara Anne Title: "This Is Roosevelt's World" : FDR as a cultural icon in American memory Issue Date: 2015-12-08 Chapter 8: Eleanor Roosevelt’s Covert Expansion of Autofabrication – A Double Deal Introduction Ken Burns’ documentary series The Roosevelts: An Intimate History (2014) was generally well- received by reviewers, but one point of criticism raised by Mary Jo Binker and Brigid O’Farrell – both scholars affiliated with the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers project of the George Washington University – is that Eleanor Roosevelt receives less attention than is her due. In an article on History News Network they reflect on how Eleanor Roosevelt herself might have assessed the series: As a savvy producer and consumer of television, ER would have been the first to appreciate Burns’s series on her family. She would have welcomed his interest in their lives and accomplishments but she would have been puzzled and dismayed at the amount of time devoted to her private life. She would have been particularly unhappy about the portrayal of the last seventeen years of her life (a mere 35 minutes in a fourteen-hour program). (…) From 1945 until her death in 1962, ER took the ideas about community, inclusion and democracy that she, her husband, and uncle espoused, and pushed them much farther than Theodore or Franklin ever dreamed. However, because she usually exercised political power indirectly and often played down or obscured her own achievements, ER’s contributions are often overlooked and undervalued.

  • Eleanor Roosevelt
    Eleanor Roosevelt Encyclopedia of World Biography, December 12, 1998 Updated: October 19, 1999 Born: October 11, 1884 in New York City, New York, United States Died: November 07, 1962 in Hyde Park, New York, United States Nationality: American Occupation: First lady Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), wife of the thirty-second president of the United States, was a philanthropist, author, world diplomat, and resolute champion of liberal causes. Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City on Oct. 11, 1884, into an economically comfortable but troubled family. Her father was Elliott Roosevelt, the younger brother of Theodore Roosevelt, a future president of the United States. Although handsome and charming, Elliott was plagued by frequent mental depressions and by alcoholism. Her mother, beautiful but neurotic, was preoccupied with the family's image in upper-class society and embarrassed by Eleanor's homeliness. Eleanor's father entered a sanitarium for alcoholics when she was a child. When Eleanor was 8 years old, her mother died, and she and two younger brothers went to live with their maternal grandmother in New York. Shortly thereafter the older brother died, and when Eleanor was not yet ten, she learned that her father was dead. Her grandmother sheltered her from all outside contacts except for family acquaintances. Eleanor Roosevelt began discovering a world beyond the family at Mademoiselle Souvestre's finishing school at South Fields, England, where she went at 15. Mademoiselle Souvestre taught a sense of social service and responsibility, which Eleanor began to act upon after her return to New York. She plunged into social work, but soon her tall, handsome cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, began courting her.
