From Library Journal
Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most outspoken and astute women of the 20th century. This collection of her writings, spanning 1927 to 1962, includes articles published in popular political and women's magazines, scholarly journals, interviews, congressional records and hearings, and books, as well as unpublished materials. Black (Casting Her Own Shadow: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Shaping of Postwar Liberalism, LJ 11/15/95) has artfully arranged these publications by the major issues that concerned ER: civil rights, moral responsibility, political analysis, women, youth, war, and human rights. One of the most comprehensive gatherings of ER's works (for a thorough bibliography, see John A. Edens's Eleanor Roosevelt: A Comprehensive Bibliography, Greenwood, 1994), this title renders Roosevelt's writings accessible to students and admirers alike. Despite the cost, this is highly recommended for all academic and large public libraries.?Jenny Presnell, Miami Univ. Libs., Oxford, Ohio
