Three Women in HERstory
Back Cover Summary Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton are each beloved women and are complex characters. So much has already been written about them that another book seems like overkill to be sure; however, whenever a topic about women, about women in politics, about hope is considered then one or all three of these historical giants become necessary to consider. Their struggles, triumphs and shortcomings are out there for everyone to see, and everyone does indee

Wasps
An examination of WASP culture through the lives of some of its most prominent figures.

Charming, witty, and vigorously researced, WASPS traces the rise and fall of this distinctly American phenomenon through the lives of prominent icons from Henry Adams and Theodore Roosevelt to George Santayana and John Jay Chapman. Throughout this dynamic story, Beran chronicles the efforts of WASPs to better the world around them as well as the struggles of these WASPs to break free from their restrictive culture. The death of George H. W. Bush brought abo...
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Life and Times
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, niece of Theodore Roosevelt... this book is the first part of a trilogy, the part covering the early life, until 1921. The end of this part is at the turning point of the onset of partial paralysis. This was the most major life-changing event. This book is more about the culture and formation of his mind, it is personal, more so than political. World War I "the great war" is covered in this book.
