**Available again in time for election season, Eleanor Roosevelt's most
important book--a battle cry for civil rights
**
As relevant and influential now as it was when first published in 1963,
Tomorrow Is Now is Eleanor Roosevelt's manifesto and her final effort
to move America toward the community she hoped it would become. In bold,
blunt prose, one of the greatest First Ladies of American history traces
her country's struggle to embrace democracy and presents her declaration
against fear, timidity, complacency, and national arrogance. An open,
unrestrained look into her mind and heart as well as a clarion call to
action, Tomorrow Is Now is the work Eleanor Roosevelt willed herself
to stay alive to finish writing. For this edition, former U.S. President
Bill Clinton contributes a new foreword and Roosevelt historian Allida
Black provides an authoritative introduction focusing on Eleanor
Roosevelt's diplomatic career.
