520    "This illustrated, first-of-its-kind collection of 
       excerpts from Eleanor Roosevelt's newspaper columns, radio
       talks, speeches, and correspondence speaks directly to the
       challenges we face today.  Acclaimed for her roles in 
       politics and diplomacy, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt was 
       also a prolific author, journalist, lecturer, broadcaster,
       educator, and public personality.  Using selections from 
       her books, columns, articles, press conferences, speeches,
       radio talks, and correspondence, Eleanor Roosevelt: In Her
       Words tracks her contributions from the 1920s, when she 
       entered journalism and public life; through the White 
       House years, when she campaigned for racial justice, the 
       labor movement, and "the forgotten woman"; to the postwar 
       era, when she served at the United Nations and shaped the 
       Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Entries touch on 
       Roosevelt's early submissions to women's magazines ("Ten 
       Rules for Success in Marriage"), her insights on women in 
       politics ("Women Must Learn to Play the Game As Men Do"), 
       her commentary on World War II ("What We Are Fighting 
       For"), her work for civil rights ("The Four Equalities"), 
       her clash with Soviet delegates at the UN ("These Same Old
       Stale Charges"), and her advice columns ("If You Ask Me").
       Surprises include her tumultuous childhood, her unique 
       preparation for leadership, the skill with which she 
       defied critics and grasped authority, her competitive 
       stance as a professional, and the force of her political 
       messages to modern readers.  Scorning the "America First" 
       mindset, Eleanor Roosevelt underlined the interdependence 
       of people and of nations. Eleanor Roosevelt: In Her Words 
       illuminates her achievement as a champion of civil rights,
       human rights, and democratic ideals"--|cProvided by
