Alles weergeven- Eleanor Roosevelt: On Discovering How to Be UsefulElmhurst Public Library, Elmhurst, IL
The last thing Eleanor Roosevelt wanted was to become the First Lady of our nation. Painfully shy and still sorting the tensions in her marriage, Eleanor entered a deep period of soul searching in the days preceding Franklin's inauguration. She found in herself courage, curiosity, and a never-ending wellspring of humor. Becoming, by pluck and risk, one of the most famous female figures of our century. Join national award-winning actress/playwright/storyteller Megan Wells as she brings alive the fire and wisdom of Eleanor.
