Eleanor Roosevelt, Fighter for Justice shows young readers how the
former First Lady evolved from a poor little rich girl to a protector
and advocate for those without a voice. Though now seen as a cultural
icon, she was a woman deeply insecure about her looks and her role in
the world. But by recognizing her fears and constantly striving to
overcome her prejudices, she used her proximity to presidents and her
own power to aid in the fight for Civil Rights and other important
causes. This biography gives readers a fresh perspective on her
extraordinary life. It includes a timeline, biography, index, and many
historic photographs.
