Summary
Hundreds of books have been written about FDR and Eleanor, both together and separately, but yet she remains a compelling and elusive figure. And, not much is known about why in 1920, Eleanor suddenly abandoned her duties as a mother of five and moved to Greenwich Village, then the symbol of all forms of transgressive freedom<U+2014>communism, homosexuality, interracial relationships, and subversive political activity. Now, in this “immersive<U+2026>original look at an iconic figure of American politics” (Publishers Weekly), Jan Russell pulls back the curtain on Eleanor<U+2019>s life to reveal the motivations and desires that drew her to the Village and how her time there changed her political outlook. A captivating blend of personal history detailing Eleanor<U+2019>s struggle with issues of marriage, motherhood, financial independence, and femininity, and a vibrant portrait of one of the most famous neighborhoods in the world, this unique work examines the ways that the sensibility, mood, and various inhabitants of the neighborhood influenced the First Lady<U+2019>s perception of herself and shaped her political views over four decades, up to her death in 1962
