The New York Times best seller from prize-winning author David Michaelis presents a \u201cstunning\u201d (The Wall Street Journal) breakthrough portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt, America\u2019s longest-serving First Lady, an avatar of democracy whose ever-expanding agency as diplomat, activist, and humanitarian made her one of the world\u2019s most widely admired and influential women.<\/p>\n

In the first single-volume cradle-to-grave portrait in six decades, acclaimed biographer David Michaelis delivers a stunning account of Eleanor Roosevelt\u2019s remarkable life of transformation. An orphaned niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, she converted her Gilded Age childhood of denial and secrecy into an irreconcilable marriage with her ambitious fifth cousin Franklin. Despite their inability to make each other happy, Franklin Roosevelt transformed Eleanor from a settlement house volunteer on New York\u2019s Lower East Side into a matching partner in New York\u2019s most important power couple in a generation.<\/p>\n

When Eleanor discovered Franklin\u2019s betrayal with her younger, prettier, social secretary, Lucy Mercer, she offered a divorce and vowed to face herself honestly. Here is an Eleanor both more vulnerable and more aggressive, more psychologically aware and sexually adaptable than we knew. She came to accept her FDR\u2019s bond with his executive assistant, Missy LeHand; she allowed her children to live their own lives, as she never could; and she explored her sexual attraction to women, among them a star female reporter on FDR\u2019s first presidential campaign, and younger men.<\/p>\n

Eleanor needed emotional connection. She pursued deeper relationships wherever she could find them. Throughout her life and travels, there was always another person or place she wanted to heal. As FDR struggled to recover from polio, Eleanor became a voice for the voiceless, her husband\u2019s proxy in the White House. Later, she would be the architect of international human rights and world citizen of the Atomic Age, urging Americans to cope with the anxiety of global annihilation by cultivating a \u201cworld mind.\u201d She insisted that we cannot live for ourselves alone but must learn to live together or we will die together.<\/p>\n

This \u201cabsolutely spellbinding,\u201d (The Washington Post) \u201ccomplex and sensitive portrait\u201d (The Guardian) is not just a comprehensive biography of a major American figure, but the story of an American ideal: how our freedom is always a choice. Eleanor rediscovers a model of what is noble and evergreen in the American character, a model we need today more than ever.<\/p>\n
