Eleanor Roosevelt1

Possibly one of the most astute and admired women of the United States history is Eleanor Roosevelt. Her biography, Eleanor Roosevelt: A Personal and Public Life., is and excellent voyage into the life of a public servant, a loving wife, and a legacy. Before reading this book, I knew little of Eleanor’s accomplishments, her lifestyle, or the joy she received from helping those in need. The book is an in-depth look into the life …

…who would read it, therefore I think that it should be required as a book which should be read during high school history. This book will give high school students a much better understanding of Eleanor’s life and also a good deal of information about her husband Franklin Roosevelt, that the students are otherwise unaware of, and Eleanor’s life is definitely one which should be admired and followed by our youth of today.
