I enjoyed the illustrations in this book and appreciated that the author used quotes from E. Roosevelt on every page. The book was delightful and a joy to read as a woman.

I also enjoyed the quotes, but I was disappointed that there weren't any source notes given for them.

I appreciated that the book really focused on Eleanor's life throughout (instead of veering off to talk about FDR).

While I generally found this book quite wonderful, I was very concerned about 1919 listed as the year that World War I ended. Although the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, November 11, 1918 is commonly accepted as the date of the end of WWI.
