Books by Michele Albion:
The Quotable Eleanor Roosevelt
The Quotable Eleanor Roosevelt, has a projected release date of September 28!
The fascinating quotes in this collection are the words of an articulate, honest, and thoughtful woman whose ideas still resonate today. Of war, she said, “I hope the day will come when all that inventing and mechanical genius will be used for other purposes.” In her column for Ladies’ Home Journal, she wrote, “Freedom from want means being sure that if you want to work, you can get a job and that job will pay you sufficient to give you and your family a decent standard of living.”
Organized by topic—government, money, art, education, class, relationships, emotions—these quotations reveal the personal thoughts Roosevelt shared in letters and conversations alongside the strong opinions she expressed in speeches and interviews, giving evidence to her character and her beliefs. Her words continue to resonate today.
