Industry reviews
"Blanche
Wiesen Cook continues her diligent pentimento, getting at the tender,
sprightly creature behind the starchy, strident image, chronicling how
the timid housewife and mother of five shed her chrysalis and turned
into the New Deal's relentless 'Eleanor Everywhere.''' Dowd
"Cook
shares a healthy respect for all that the First Lady accomplished, but
shows readers sides of her that are less than perfect." Ware
"Cook
pulls no punches when it comes to examining her heroine's political or
personal shortcomings, but she also delights in showing us the
excellence of her character and the scope of her achievements. Her
enthusiasm lights up the pages of this story." Rubin
