She was Eleanor Roosevelt, his distant cousin, who had just returned from school in Europe. From a shy, solemn girl, she had matured into a confident woman. Two years later, they were married. In 1932, at the depth of the Great Depression, Franklin was elected president. Together, the couple worked tirelessly to improve social conditions and help the American people regain faith in themselves. Franklin \u0026amp; Eleanor Roosevelt offers a behind-the-scenes look at this dynamic couple, from Franklin's struggle with polio and strong leadership during World War II to Eleanor's evolution from a reluctant first lady to \"Eleanor Everywhere,\" a champion of the poor and disadvantaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Ashby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596876565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596876569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iBooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Ruth Ashby","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46025055633663,"sku":"9781596876569","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd9f5790-3482-4cde-97ec-1ca19239759e.jpg?v=1723129873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/presidents-and-first-ladies-franklin-ruth-ashby-9781596876569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
