Dozens of books have been written about Eleanor Roosevelt, but
her own writings are largely confined to the Roosevelt archives in
Hyde Park. "Courage in a Dangerous World" allows her own voice
again to be heard. Noted Eleanor Roosevelt scholar Allida M. Black
has gathered more than two hundred columns, articles, essays, and
speeches culled from archives whose pages number in the millions,
tracing her development from timorous columnist to one of
liberalism's most outspoken leaders.
From "My Day" newspaper columns about Marian Anderson and
excerpts from "Moral Basis of Democracy" and "This Troubled World"
to speeches and articles on the Holocaust and McCarthyism, this
anthology provides readers with the tools to reconstruct the
politics of a woman who redefined American liberalism and
democratic reform. Arranged chronologically and by topic, the
volume covers the New Deal years, the White House years, World War
II at home and abroad, the United Nations and human rights, the
Cold War, the civil rights movement, the resurgence of feminism,
and much more. In addition, the collection features excerpts from
Eleanor Roosevelt's correspondence with Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
Harry S. Truman, Adlai Stevenson, J. Edgar Hoover, John F. Kennedy,
and ordinary Americans.
The volume features a collection of 30 rare photographs. A
comprehensive bibliography of Eleanor Roosevelt's articles serves
as a valuable resource, providing a link to the issues she held
dear, many of which are still hotly debated today.
