Industry Reviews
Gr 7-10 Using well-documented primary sources, Morey details her subject's enormous impact on this country, from her ceaseless efforts to expand opportunities for women and minority groups to her precedent-setting changes in the role of First Lady, to her efforts to promote world peace and human rights. The author includes material about Roosevelt's personal life, mainly to explain how they affected the woman she became or the actions she took. Very admiring of Roosevelt, and obviously viewing her as a strong role model for both young women and First Ladies, Morey nonetheless includes both some of the contemporary criticism that Roosevelt faced and some analysis of her attitudes and actions. Black-and-white photos are of average quality; sidebars include excerpts from Roosevelt's many published works and those of people who knew her. This book is not as attractive as Russell Freedman's heavily illustrated Eleanor Roosevelt (Clarion, 1993), which is a more personal and readable look at this woman's life and achievements, but it does offer readers the kind of analysis that explains why Roosevelt has become one of the most celebrated women of this century. It is a good choice for researchers and report writers. Mary Mueller, Rolla Junior High School, MO
