    Eleanor Roosevelt, Vol. I: 1884-1933 de Blanche Wiesen Cook.
    Penguin Books. E.U.A., 1992, 585 págs. B. Il.

    Eleanor Roosevelt was born into the privileges and prejudices of American aristocracy and into a family ravaged by alcoholism. She overcame debilitating roots: in her public life, fighting against racism and injustice and advancing the rights of women; and in her private life, forming lasting intimate friendships with some of the great men and women of her times. This volume covers ER’s family and birth, her childhood, education, and marriage, and ends with FDR’s election to the Presidency–the years of ER’s youth and coming of age.

    Celebrated by feminists, historians, politicians, and reviewers everywhere, Cook’s trilogy is an unprecedented portrait of a brave, fierce, passionate political leader of our century.
