Synopsis:

One of the most recognized and remarkable women of the twentieth century, Eleanor Roosevelt led a rare and privileged life. In This Is My Story, first published in 1937, Roosevelt reflects on her childhood, early adulthood, and the years of her marriage before moving in to the White House. With startling frankness, Roosevelt reveals and examines the events and people who shaped her life, including her famous uncle, Theodore Roosevelt, and the man who would become her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Eleanor Roosevelt went on to publish numerous other works, both biographical and political, including This I Remember and On My Own, memoirs of life as first lady of the United States, and of life following the death of her husband.
