The riveting story of the most influential first lady in American history: Eleanor Roosevelt, Fighter for Justice shows young readers a different side of the former first lady.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was a politician, activist, diplomat, and the longest-serving first lady of the United States. But she was more than that. She was a protector and advocate for those without a voice, speaking out on the labour movement and civil rights.

Though now seen as a cultural icon, she was a woman who was deeply insecure about her looks and her role in the world. She recognised her own prejudices and constantly strove to overcome them. Eleanor Roosevelt set the standard for the role of the first lady, and this biography gives young readers a fresh perspective on her extraordinary life.

It includes an excerpt of one of her speeches, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.
