She marches on as an activist and an educator, and as her reputation grows she becomes a celebrity, revered by titans ofbusiness and recognized by U.S. Presidents. Eleanor Roosevelt herself is awestruck and eager to make her acquaintance. Initially drawn together because of their shared belief in women's rights and the power of education, Mary and Eleanor become fast friends confiding their secrets, hopes, and dreams--and holding each other's hands through personal and professional strife. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt is elected president, the two women begin to collaborate more closely, particularly as Eleanor moves toward her own agenda separate from FDR, a consequence of the devastating discovery of her husband's secret love affair. Eleanor becomes a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness, particularly on civil rights. And when she receives threats because ofher strong ties to Mary, it only fuels the women's desire to fight together for justice and equality. This is the story of two different, yet equally formidable, passionate, and committed women, and the way in which their singular friendship helped formthe foundation for the modern civil rights movement"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Eleanor, $d 1884-1962 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Bethune, Mary McLeod, $d 1875-1955 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Presidents' spouses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Murray, Victoria Christopher, $e author. 700 1 $a Miles, Robin, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Gilbert, Tavia, $e narrator. 941 $a 6 945 $a cdab 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240118010746.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20240118010327.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021928.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20231028021735.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20230725011708.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011717.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D00F65D61D5411EE85C7632C52ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
