"Dozens of books have been written about Eleanor Roosevelt, but her own writings have largely been confined to the Roosevelt archives in Hyde Park. Courage in a Dangerous World allows her own voice again to be heard. In this collection of her political writings, noted Eleanor Roosevelt scholar Allida Black has gathered more than two hundred columns, articles, essays, and speeches. Culled-from archives whose pages number in the millions, the selections included here trace Eleanor Roosevelt's development from timorous columnist to one of liberalism's most outspoken leaders."--BOOK JACKET.
