Eleanor Roosevelt's remarkable ability to confront and overcome
hurdles-be they political, personal, or social-made her one of the
greatest leaders of the last century, if not all time. In Leadership
the Eleanor Roosevelt Way, author and scholar Robin Gerber examines the
values, tactics, and beliefs that enabled Eleanor Roosevelt to bring
about tremendous change-in herself and in the world. Examining the
former first lady's rise from a difficult childhood to her enormously
productive and politically involved years in the White House, as a U.N.
delegate and an honorary ambassador, an author, and beyond, Gerber
offers women an inspiring road map to heroic living and an unparalleled
model for personal achievement.
