On My Own - Hardcover

by Eleanor Roosevelt (Author)

On My Own is a memoir written by Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the most influential First Ladies in American history. In this book, she recounts her life after the death of her husband, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and how she navigated the challenges of being a widow and a public figure. Eleanor Roosevelt was a prominent political figure in her own right, and in this memoir, she shares her experiences as a United Nations delegate, a columnist, and an advocate for human rights. She also reflects on her personal life, including her relationship with her children and her own struggles with depression. Throughout the book, Roosevelt emphasizes the importance of independence and self-reliance, both of which were key themes in her life and work. She writes candidly about her own fears and doubts, but also about the resilience and determination that helped her overcome them. Overall, On My Own is a powerful and inspiring memoir that offers a unique perspective on one of the most remarkable women of the 20th century.
