Eleanor A Spiritual Biography
$24.00Add to cartMore than fifty years after her death, Eleanor Roosevelt is remembered as a formidable first lady and tireless social activist.

Eleanor: A Spiritual Biography provides insight into one of America’s most famous women, particularly the spiritual influences that made her so active in social justice issues.
