"My Day: The Best of Eleanor Roosevelt's Acclaimed Newspaper Articles 1936-1962" is a fascinating read. Her critical analysis of domestic and world politics, what she said in her columns about her present time and our future time (our present) rings as true today as it did when she wrote them. She championed desegregation, health care, humanitarian relief as opposed to military might. She was not afraid to challenge the views and policies of those in power from both sides of the aisles. She new she was a role model for women around the world; she was the voice of so many voiceless and marginalized people. She was not always popular, but she didn't let that bother her. She spoke as a member of the human race. This book is a great read and informed me about the United States when I was just a babe in arms. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"I think Eleanor Roosevelt has so gripped the imagination of this moment because we need her and her vision so completely. . . . She's perfect for us as we enter the twenty-first century. Eleanor Roosevelt is a loud and profound voice for people who want to change the world."--Blanche Wiesen Cook Named "Woman of the Century" in a survey conducted by the National Women's Hall of Fame, Eleanor Roosevelt wrote her hugely popular syndicated column "My Day" for over a quarter of that century, from 1936 to 1962. This collection brings together for the first time in a single volume the most memorable of those columns, written with singular wit, elegance, compassion, and insight--everything from her personal perspectives on the New Deal and World War II to the painstaking diplomacy required of her as chair of the United Nations Committee on Human Rights after the war to the joys of gardening at her beloved Hyde Park home. To quote Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., "What a remarkable woman she was! These sprightly and touching selections from Eleanor Roosevelt's famous column evoke an extraordinary personality." "My Day reminds us how great a woman she was."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The one article that really jumped out to me was her quoting Jefferson.
I had recently come across an article that was doing a poll about the purpose of education in the United States, and not one response spoke of the need for an educated electorate which I found shocking, so it was nice to see her make that point. ( )
