Synopsis "eleanor: the years alone"

Joseph P. Lash, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and National Book Award-winning writer of Eleanor and Franklin, turns to the seventeen years Eleanor Roosevelt lived after FDR's death in 1945. Already a major figure in her own right, Roosevelt gained new stature with her work at the United Nations and her contributions to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She continued her activism on behalf of civil rights, as well as her humanitarian work, which led President Harry Truman to call her the First Lady of the World. Lash has created an extraordinary portrait of an extraordinary person.

(1933-1945), el único reelegido cuatro veces, liderando al país durante la Gran Depresión y la Segunda Guerra Mundial con su programa "New Deal", que impulsó la Seguridad Social y la intervención estatal, y fue clave en la creación de la ONU, muriendo poco después de empezar su último mandato.
