註釋

Eleanor Roosevelt is the most important woman in American political history, and in this definitive biography, Blanche Wiesen Cook re-creates her in all of her roles - as a visionary, an activist, a political wife, and a woman, far more independent than we knew. No other President's wife had greater influence on twentieth-century America. Blanche Wiesen Cook captures the complexity of Eleanor Roosevelt's character - her wit, her position, her boldness, and her commitment to justice and equality. Born into the American aristocracy and into a family ravaged by alcoholism and self-destruction, Eleanor Roosevelt learned, rather than inherited, her progressive views. 'Education ends only with death,' she said, and her life bears that out. Though born into the sensibilities of the Old South, she became an antiracist activist and an eloquent spokeswoman for peace.
