Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt way

Eleanor Roosevelt's remarkable ability to confront and successfully overcome hurdles--be they political, personal or social--made her one of the greatest leaders of the past century, if not of all time. A veritable road map to heroic living, the author examines the former first lady's leadership development from her earliest years as a young woman faced with many obstacles through her enormously productive and politically involved years in the White House, as a U.N. delegate and an honorary ambassador, an author, and beyond, providing women from all walks of life with a model for personal achievement.
