“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.“

This book talks about Eleanor Roosevelt who was one of the most influential women in American History. It talks about her early life and then becoming the First Lady and what she did to fight for human rights and social justice.

This book is a great read for young readers who want to learn amount the infamous Eleanor Roosevelt!

I forgot to post last night. From Eleanor Roosevelt‘s It‘s Up To The Women discussing the years after women received the right to vote.

“A vote is never an intelligent vote when it is cast without knowledge.”

Parts of this were very dated ( management of household staff 😂), some were interesting as historical documents (suggested menus with prunes once a day), and some were still timely (purchasing power and the importance of voting.) #NFN

In 1935 when Eleanor Roosevelt was asked if a woman can ever be president she replied “Not soon, but someday.”
