<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>We think we know the story of Eleanor Roosevelt--the shy, awkward girl who would redefine the role of First Lady, becoming a civil rights activist and an inspiration to generations of young women. As legend has it, the bane of Eleanor's life was her demanding and domineering mother-in-law, Sara Delano Roosevelt. Biographers have overlooked the complexity of a relationship that had, over the years, been reinterpreted and embellished by Eleanor herself. <p/>Through diaries, letters, and interviews with Roosevelt family and friends, Jan Pottker uncovers a story never before told. The result is a triumphant blend of social history and psychological insight--a revealing look at Eleanor Roosevelt and the woman who made her historic achievements possible.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Fills a long-standing void in the Roosevelt story and adds tremendously to our understanding of Roosevelt personal history." --Eleanor Roosevelt Seagraves, grandchild of Eleanor Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jan Pottker</b> is the author of seven previous books, including <i>Janet and Jackie: The Story of a Mother and Her Daughter, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis</i>. Pottker's interest in Sara and Eleanor was sparked when she realized that a myth had grown around Eleanor at the expense of Sara---much the same as the relationship between Jackie and her mother had been underplayed and distorted over time. Pottker has a Ph.D. from Columbia University and lives in Potomac, Maryland, with her husband, Andrew S. Fishel.</p>
