she was a woman who was deeply insecure about her looks and her role in the world. She recognized her own prejudices and constantly strove to overcome them. Eleanor Roosevelt set the standard for the role of the first lady, and this biography gives young readers a fresh perspective on her extraordinary life. It includes an excerpt of one of her speeches, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. Ilene Cooper has written many acclaimed children’s books, including Jewish Holidays All Year Round, The Golden Rule, and A Woman in the House (and Senate). She lives in Highland Park, Illinois.
